Chapter 42 Guidance

At night, Shi Yan and Arus entered a state of cultivation, and Zhu Jing and Hua Lao came to a more remote place to chat.

"Third princess, where have you been all these years? Do you know that the monarch is going crazy, and everyone speculates that something bad has happened to you, but the monarch has never given up, and secretly sent people here to look for you back and forth," Hua Lao said.

"Hua Lao, you promise me first, don't tell Xiao Yan about my identity for the time being, this kid is very naïve, and now is the best stage of cultivation, you and I can see that he is a genius, knowing too much will only distract him" Zhu Jing said.

"How's that going to work? He is the child of Quartz and the son of Princess Yue, so can he hide this? Hua Lao said.

"Xiao Yan didn't know that her mother was a princess, and his arm was marked with a burn, which was the symbol of a mercenary organization, so he couldn't enter the country of stones, and even if he did, it would cause controversy for his brother," said Zhu Jing.

"How could this happen, isn't this ruining this child's life," Gu said.

"You also know that even if you are skilled in medicine, you will inevitably have scars, as long as there are marks or scars on your arms, they will not be recognized anywhere, which is why Xiao Yan did not enter the Abess Ancient Academy," said Zhu Jing.

"The third princess doesn't need to be in a hurry, there is always a way, but it is really not suitable to enter the imperial city at the moment, the border of the country of stone has been attacked repeatedly, and a lot of spies and mercenaries have been arrested, it is indeed inappropriate for Shi Yan to enter" Hua Lao said.

"Xiao Yan's identity is special, Quartz never told him about my sister, I guess he also wanted to temporarily cut off Shi Yan's thoughts about his mother, and planned to pass on his divine power before telling him" Zhu Jing said without talking.

"The outside world says quartz is dead, but we feel that quartz may not be dead," Hua Lao said.

"You mean brother-in-law him??" Zhu Jing said curiously.

"Well, it's possible that he's not dead, it's just that we old guys just can't find him," Hua Lao said.

"Alas~ My brother-in-law's family is also pitiful, and my sister who was harmed was also implicated, and I don't believe he will die," Zhu Jing said.

"But it's okay, although things are bad, at least he and you are fine, and so are you, how did you become like this" Hua Lao asked.

Zhu Jing told Hua Lao what happened to him, and Hua Lao sighed when he heard it, but he didn't expect to meet Shi Yan by accident, and after letting Shi Yan practice the wind attribute, he was bumped into by Hua Lao, who was in charge of protecting the town in Bamboo Forest Town, and after seeing through Shi Yan's wind attribute, he speculated that he might be related to Zhu Jing.

"The monarch ordered me to protect the safety of this selection, and I must not reveal my identity until I have to, how do you know that I can meet you all at once, do you have any plans in the future?" Hua Lao asked.

"This kid is going to study at Santis Academy," said Zhu Jing.

"By all means, the war is imminent, and life and death in the country of stone are unpredictable," Hua Lao dissuaded.

"At first, I also felt that he was messing around, but he has grown at an amazing rate along the way, and I feel that the real strong man is still cultivated on the battlefield, so it is better to let him try it," Zhu Jing said.

"That's a good word, but it's too dangerous," Hua Lao said.

"Hua Lao, think about it, although the children have higher qualifications in the past 100 years, there are fewer and fewer strong people, don't you know why?" Zhu Jing asked.

"I know, the old man also thought about it, it is indeed because of the excessive care of the old people and the lack of experience of the children," Hua Lao said.

"The human race has come to this day, which strong person is not after traveling to the continent, nine deaths in exchange, ability is secondary, experience is the most important, even if you give them more, it is better to let them personally experience it, it is profound" Zhu Jing said.

"You said lightly, that is not a parent, not an elder, when the day comes, can you bear it?" Hua Lao said.

"The ten young masters of Huajie are all talented and have extraordinary foundations, but look at it, let them practice behind closed doors all day long, is it really good?" Zhu Jing asked.

"Run, run, all run, in addition to the task of our old man, is to watch these ten children not to cause trouble, Hua Shuo was seriously injured not long ago, and he has been recuperating for a long time and is gone" Hua Lao said helplessly.

"Hehe, your grandson you know, grandpa is like this, and so is grandson" Zhu Jing smiled.

"It's not big or small, you and Zhu Yue have grown up under the watchful eyes of a few of our old men, none of them are worry-free, besides, although these ten young masters are messing around, they haven't escaped from the country of stones, you are good, you have been missing for nearly 10 years" Hua Lao said.

Zhu Jing smiled, recalling that when he was a child, he didn't secretly go abroad to the capital, and after he went out, he was happy, and this group of old people rushed to rescue him several times, and Zhu Jing also knew that without their care, he might have to lose a lot of children.

"Okay, the Order of the Eight Clans Chamber of Commerce is already in Shi Yan, here is still far from the border of Shi Country, relying on you to go like this, I won't be able to go for three or five years, I will teach this child for three days first, and I will go back to restore my life after three days, I will report your matter to the monarch first, as for what the monarch wants to do, I don't care" Hua Lao said.

"Don't say anything," said Zhu Jing.

"Nonsense, you have no conscience, that's your brother, the current situation is turbulent, those elders who originally disapproved of the monarch are holding back their minds and calculating, and the monarch is not easy to be. I must say something about you, at least it bothers him," Hua Lao said.

"Oh~ Okay then, you can say it," Zhu Jing whispered.

"Alas~ The internal affairs of the parliament are enough for him to worry about, a few days ago, Qing Cang came to commit it, the monarch is already distressed enough, you, you, let him have some snacks" Hua Lao said.

"Qingcang? Isn't he dead? Zhu Jing was surprised.

"It seems that he has entered a certain evil path, it is he who has injured the ancient, in short, you should be careful, it is really hard to say whether this child of Shi Yan will be a blessing or a curse in the future, a few of us can help, and whether it is good or bad in the future depends on his creation" Hua Lao said and looked at the other end of the bamboo forest.

~~~~~

"Master"

Early the next morning, the first thing Shi Yan did when he got up was to apprentice.

"Okay, well, since you call me Master, then I will recognize you as an apprentice, a teacher for one day and a teacher for life, Xiao Yan, don't blame the master for only teaching you for three days, you can also benefit for a lifetime if you learn it" Hua Lao said.

"Master," Arus suddenly shouted as well.

"Huh? What are you? I didn't intend to take you as an apprentice," the ancient looked at Arus curiously.

"Master, Arus is my most trusted friend, if you don't accept him, I won't learn from you," Shi Yan said.

"If you don't accept it, you can't do it, because I already call Shi Yan a senior brother, and I don't mind being a junior brother," Arus said.

"Uh~~~ Okay, okay, just worship and give one away," Hua Lao said.

"Huh, huh? What does it mean to give one? Arus wondered.

"Hehe~" Zhu Jing couldn't help laughing.

"Master drink water" Shi Yan and Arus each handed over a glass of water, and Hua Lao smiled and held it in his hand.

"Master accepted two disciples today, I am very happy for the teacher, these two glasses of water cannot be drunk in vain, I want to give a meeting gift, and give each of you a starter gift for the teacher"

Hua Lao said, took out a copy of "Ten Thousand Stone Records" from his arms and handed it to Shi Yan, and took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Arus.

"Master, what are you?" Shi Yan looked at Wan Shilu and asked.

"People say that the 'Strange Stone List' is the most well-recorded ore secret scroll on the mainland, but in terms of quantity, the content is detailed and belongs to your Shi family's 'Ten Thousand Stone Records', and you have to keep in mind what your ancestors left behind," Hua Lao said.

"Yes~" Shi Yan said happily.

"As for Arus, I see that although the thunder attribute in your body is superb, it is obviously grafted, but I don't know which strong person has such amazing attainments and can be grafted so perfectly" Hua Lao asked.

"Queen Medusa of the Serpents," Arus said.

"Poof~" Hua Lao squirted all the water in his mouth on Arus's face at once.

"Who are you talking about??" Hua Lao wiped his mouth and asked.

Arus wiped his face and looked at Hua Lao looking at himself with a shocked face, yes, ordinary people really don't believe it, but they didn't expect Hua Lao to be shocked to such a point.

"I went to the town of Ten Thousand Snakes with my brother before, where we met Queen Medusa, and she asked the wizards of the clan to graft it for me," Arus said.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" asked Hua Lao.

"Senior brother didn't lie to you, he did meet you," Shi Yan said.

"It seems that going out for a walk is indeed beneficial, I didn't expect that the Medusa of the demon snake clan would be kind to you, it's really amazing~~~ or not," Hua Lao said.

"Master, that's all in the past, you said that the ability in my body is too messy, you can teach me how to regulate" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Also, 3 days is too short, the teacher can't teach you fighting skills or spiritual methods, you can only dictate the method of cultivation, and how much you can comprehend in the future depends on the creation," Hua Lao said.

"Oh?" Shi Yan and Arus looked at each other in the same way.

"The elixir in Arus's hand is a mixture of condensed thunder attribute spirit stone essence, after taking it, you can strengthen the combination of your and thunder attribute again, and you may be promoted to a 5th rank fighter, and it doesn't matter if the attributes in your body are grafted or not in the future," Hua Lao said.

"Great, thank you, Master," Arus said with a smile.

"As for Xiao Yan, there are a few things you have to keep in mind as a teacher," Hua Lao said.

"Yes"

"First, the Fighter and Spirit Stage is the basic cultivation stage for all cultivators, don't use weapons and magic weapons indiscriminately, once the external ability interferes with the Dou Qi or True Qi in the body, after your meridians mature, the residual ability will interfere with your perception and control of attributes. Second, before you are promoted to Dou Master and Mage, you major in Dou Qi and the Five Elements in Fire, and when your foundation is stable, you are practicing other attributes. The second cultivation of true qi is also fire. It's best to become a pharmacist. Thirdly, about the cheats, it is not that the more the merrier, your ghost fist is a lost growth type boxing method, this kind of boxing method is urging the fighting qi at the same time to cultivate your inner dan, driving your true qi cultivation, no matter how long it will take, you have to practice this boxing method" Hua Lao said.

"Master, do you know the Ghost Fist too?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"I know, although this boxing method has been lost, but according to records, it was the Emperor of Heaven who created his own boxing method, the Emperor of Heaven has all five elements, and the boxing method created by the Emperor is extremely high in terms of cultivation, and the requirements are extremely high, and the initial stage of its boxing method will consume great fighting spirit and true qi, many people do not have this ability, so it is gradually lost, it is not suitable for you to practice, you must practice" Hua Lao said.

"Xiao Yan, although your foundation is good, remember that many skills will be pressed, especially when you are in the beginner stage, don't be impatient, and meditating on one of them is the king. Although you can't build weapons in the initial stage, you can refine medicine, and if you have nothing to do, you can practice it, and it's best if you can be a pharmacist," Hua Lao said.

Zhu Jing was stunned, thinking that Hua Lao was really lightweight, and he was still idle to be a pharmacist, you must know that alchemists and foundries on this continent are unique professions. Even if Shi Yan is powerful, it doesn't mean that he should be right.

"That master, pharmacist~" Arus said.

"Shut up, for the sake of the teacher's training, you can interject casually, you can come back with me later," Hua Lao said.

"Huh~?" Arus froze.

"Xiao Yan, did Gu give you a cheat book?" asked Hua Lao.

"It turned out to be sent by Grandpa Gu, hehe, there is a copy, called the Heavenly God Protector," Shi Yan said.

"The Heavenly God Protector is a kind of cheats that can stimulate the internal fighting qi and true qi of multiple attributes at the same time, it is not lethal, but it is a treasure book, but there are also risks, first of all, the mind is calm, and secondly, once it is used, most of the fighting qi will be consumed, and don't be anxious when practicing, the types of attributes should be superimposed little by little, to ensure that the fighting qi and true qi are used in a state of sufficient use," Hua Lao said.

"Master, I don't quite understand," Shi Yan said.

"This book is useless for Arus, but for you, it is a treasure, to put it simply, after you learn it, it will save half the time than if you practice one by one," Hua Lao said.

"Huh?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"Hehe, you kid is lucky, he inherits a good bloodline, and he has extraordinary encounters, don't be complacent in the future, remember to see more teachers" Hua Lao said with a smile.

"Yes," Shi Yan said, nodding.

"I will supervise your practice for three days, and I believe that after these three days, it will help you in other practices in the future," Hua Lao said.

"Got it, Master," Shi Yan and Arus said in unison.

"Hua Lao is the most knowledgeable old man in the Eight Clans Chamber of Commerce, and it is no problem to learn from him," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

Within three days, under the training of Hua Lao, Shi Yan put aside all the cultivation methods of Huoyun Leg and Wind Riding Technique, and devoted himself to practicing "Double Shadow Fist" according to the requirements. Before, Shi Yan only knew how to attack with the Ghost Fist, and only focused on the number of afterimages separated by the Shadow Fist. In terms of speed, it relied on the fire cloud legs, and in terms of defense, it began to rely on the wind riding trick. But Hua Lao asked him to make up for his lack of speed and defense with the Ghost Punch. At first, Shi Yan was very distressed, but slowly Shi Yan realized that the afterimage could not only attack, but also be an attack for himself, and three ghosts could resist three attacks. As for the speed, Shi Yan summoned the summoned afterimage back into his body, because the afterimage condensed the qi of heaven and earth and the spiritual power of heaven and earth when it appeared, after being recalled, Shi Yan's strength increased a lot in a short period of time.

Arus is specialized in "Thundering Fist", "Thunderball" is a move that condenses all the fighting energy in a period of time, although the power is, but the recovery is very slow, with the current strength of Arus, it can only be played once, and the rest of the time after being dodged by the master will be slaughtered. The cheats given by Zhu Xiong are considered to be the best, and Hua Lao has used his life's cultivation to improve "Thundering Fist", so that Arus can use his fists to turn his palms into fists, and use his hands and feet to practice all over his body.

Under the guidance of Hua Lao, the two of them not only knew the benefits of single cultivation, but also understood how to practice other cheats in the future. You can use a fighting technique or spiritual method to restrain all the drawbacks, and you can be regarded as truly learning a cheats.

"Xiao Yan, your ghost fist itself is impeccable, the meridians involved are condensed by the crystallization of the Emperor of Heaven, you must hone and use it more in the future, until you are perfect, you can reach the peak, after you give full play to one fighting skill, you will be able to achieve half the result in practicing other fighting skills, otherwise, the effect will be the opposite" Hua Lao said.

"Yes, thank you, Master," Shi Yan said happily.

"Arus, your posture is not as good as Xiao Yan, but your experience is extraordinary, you can make up for your clumsiness, you have to think more and ask for advice in the future, although the strength of one person is small, but the effect of the two of you is not the same" Hua Lao said with a smile.

"Got it, Master," Arus laughed.

"Xiao Yan, your 6th Rank Dou Qi has stagnated, and the Master has already told you the reason, on the contrary, although Arus's foundation is not as good as yours, he will soon be promoted to a 5th Order Fighter, which shows the importance of majoring in one of them" Hua Lao said with a smile.

"I understand," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Good, very good," Hua Lao said with relief.

"By the way, Master, you helped me improve the Thundering Fist, I feel that this fist method can't be called Thundering Fist in the future, you can change the name for me" Arus said suddenly.

"It's okay," Hua Lao said with a smile, "It's better to call it 'Lei Tong Fist'."

"Lei Tong Fist?" Arus tilted his head in thought.

"Focusing on boxing, and being able to play all over the body, Hua Lao has made the foundation with the original name of boxing, and improved it, which is reasonable and reasonable, not bad" Zhu Jing smiled.

"Okay, it's called Thunder Punch," Arus laughed.

"Congratulations, junior brother," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Seriously, Master is really good, after improvement, my whole body is crispy and numb every time I am lucky, my strength is stronger, and my fighting spirit is much higher" Arus smiled.

"Hehe, kid, how to play in the future, how to use it depends on yourself, after the two of you become fighters, you will practice other high-level cheats, and you will also learn to draw inferences, you know" Hua Lao said with a smile.

"Got it," Shi Yan and Arus said on their knees.

"The teacher is leaving, the rest of the way is up to you, keep the order of the Eight Clans Chamber of Commerce, no matter where you go, it will work, and let the teacher know where you are going at any time," Hua Lao said.

"Got it," Shi Yan nodded.

"Hehe, there is something important for the teacher, don't say much, I'll see you in the future" Hua Lao said, the surface of his body was suddenly surrounded by all kinds of flowers, and finally since it was covered by countless small flowers, after a dark red light flourished, Hua Lao disappeared in front of the two of them, leaving only countless laces falling one after another.

"Master?" Shi Yan looked at the flowers falling from the sky and shouted in a low voice.

"Hua Lao is gone, Xiaoyan, Arus, we should also be on our way," Zhu Jing said.
