Chapter 39: The Path of Cultivation
"I've become a second-level martial artist?" Lu Feng'er didn't react at once.
Mu Xu just looked at him with a smile and didn't answer.
"I've become a second-level martial artist?" this time, he seemed to ask himself.
"Well, you've built a successful foundation. Mu Xu finally spoke.
"Building a foundation?" Lu Feng'er was stunned.
"Well, generally speaking, the fifth level of a martial artist is actually considered to be a foundation. However, because the first level is the foundation of the foundation, sensing the aura, it is the first level of the martial artist. So, strictly speaking, this is not a foundation. ”
"And the second level of martial arts is to use aura to strengthen one's body, and on a certain limb of the body, you can use the aura, which is the standard of reaching the second level of martial arts. Obviously, the aspect of building your foundation is the eye, and the most practical thing in the early stage of the power of time should be the eye, right? Otherwise, it will be difficult to use it to actually help. ”
"Then every level of advancement will almost strengthen a part, until the fifth level, but the peak realm of the fifth-level martial artist is a bit special, and the entire body must be strengthened. When you perceive the soul, you can cooperate with your body and soul to draw qi into the body, and at that time, it means that you have officially entered the qi training mirror. Mu Xu explained to Lu Feng'er.
"Uh-huh!" Lu Feng'er listened carefully and nodded frequently.
"Then my foundation can be said to be very powerful?" he finally asked expectantly, and Mu Xu's answer was indeed what he expected.
"Well, with the power of time, there are almost not many people in the same level who are your opponents, and you now have the strength to fight against a higher level. Because even if it's destructive, you have to be able to hit you, right?" Mu Xu nodded.
"Hahaha, I'm really a genius among geniuses!" Lu Feng'er couldn't help the excitement in her heart and laughed insolently. Now he only feels that his future is bright, and the kind of chic that kills all sides with swords and robes without dripping blood is close at hand.
"Don't be complacent, although you are strong, you are not invincible. The consumption of your aura on your eyes is still very large, and you can't afford to play a war of attrition with people who are generally higher than you and understand it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it at a reasonable time, which will make your combat effectiveness much higher. Mu Xu saw that he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and decided to suppress his arrogance.
"Then the same level is invincible, right?" Lu Feng'er raised her eyebrows.
"You!" Mu Xu frowned, reproaching, "All things are mutually reinforcing, don't underestimate the people of the world, no matter what kind of ability, there is no such thing as invincible, even if there is, it is definitely not your ability!"
Seeing that she was a little angry, Lu Fenger realized that something was wrong, and learned from the scholar on TV, and apologized respectfully, "What the teacher taught is that the student knows that he is wrong!"
Seeing his appearance, Mu Xu couldn't help laughing, "However, it is indeed very good that you can go from the first level of a martial artist to the second level of a martial artist in more than two months." ”
"Well, that's all taught by Teacher Mu Xu. Lu Feng'er didn't dare to her tail casually now, for fear of making her angry.
"It's also inseparable from your own efforts. Mu Xu also told the truth, it is true, his efforts have been in her eyes for more than two months.
"By the way, Mu Xu, I have a question for you. Lu Feng'er remembered something and said suddenly.
"Ask!" Mu Xu smiled.
"You said that most people sensed the aura when they were very young, right?" Lu Feng'er asked.
"Hmm. Mu Xu nodded
"That means they're first-class martial artists when they're very young, right?" Lu Feng'er asked again.
"Yes!" Mu Xu nodded again.
"Then why are so many people looking at the twenty or thirty years old, huh....... Even people who are forty or fifty years old, and they have only reached the realm of second-level martial artists and third-level martial artists?" Lu Feng'er thought of the tall and thin man who was working with him in the tavern and most of the mercenaries on the side, several of them were third-level martial artists, and many of the rest were only second-level martial artists, and only two of them were powerful enough to reach the level of fourth-level martial artists.
That was also what they didn't hide their aura at all, which made Lu Feng'er feel that they were very difficult to provoke when he first came in, so he deduced it.
"Hmm......." Mu Xu pondered for a while before he said faintly, "Do you think it's so easy to build a foundation from a first-level martial artist to a second-level martial artist? You just let me find your breakthrough today, and then help you to reach the level of a second-level martial artist smoothly." ”
"Well, I know. Lu Feng'er also knew very well that if Mu Xu hadn't helped him relieve the pain and keep his mind halfway, he would have fainted to death, and it would be very good to leave no sequelae, let alone a breakthrough.
"Then how long do you think it will take you to reach the second-level martial artist realm under normal terms?" Mu Xu asked rhetorically.
"I don't know about this, half a year?" Lu Feng'er felt that her estimate was very conservative.
"Wrong! At least one to three years, this is still a situation where you have to cultivate almost every day, and the Condensing Grass during this period is also indispensable. Lu Feng'er was stunned when she heard this answer, and Mu Xu continued, "In addition, you need a good teacher to give you the right guidance, do you think so many people meet these conditions?"
"Uh......... No, right?" Lu Feng'er replied cautiously, although he said that Teacher Mu Xu had a good guidance, he really felt that Mu Xu taught him very carefully, and she really contributed to his progress.
But more often than not, it is believed that a large part of it has to do with his talent and hard work, but this does not seem to be the case.
"Actually, there are a lot of people who want to work hard and are very talented, but if there is no one to guide them, if they practice indiscriminately and if they go wrong, they will almost break the path of cultivation. Therefore, many people are only first-class martial artists almost all their lives, or they are not allowed to enter. ”
"Most of the mercenaries you see are the ones at the bottom, who don't have any conditions to assist in cultivation and have to run for survival all their lives, most of them can't maintain a normal cultivation progress, and occasionally some breakthroughs in life and death have already counted some people with good talent and luck. ”
"So it's relatively common for them to be third-level martial artists at the age of forty or fifty, and of course, this is the lowest level of mercenary groups. Because the high-level mercenary group is relatively strong, they will also guide them to improve their overall strength, but their entry standards will be relatively high. Therefore, it is indeed not easy for ordinary people to go down the road of cultivation, if there is no noble person to help, the fifth level of martial arts is estimated to be their limit, right?"
After Lu Feng'er heard this, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, and she was secretly glad that she could meet her, otherwise she would probably be living a foolish life like before, which was difficult for him to accept.
Therefore, he didn't know how to express his gratitude for Mu Xu's life-saving grace and teaching grace, so he could only silently write it down in his heart, although his strength was almost negligible in front of her now.
"Then they have almost no hope? Ordinary people have almost no way to turn over in this life?" Lu Feng'er 'saw' at this desperate road and felt a little upset for them.
"Of course, there are many sects in the Southern Empire now, and there are also many sects and factions in the Southern Empire that dig up talented materials from the common people and give them the opportunity to apprentice and cultivate for free. However, this kind of is almost like a deed of sale, once you are cultivated, you will generally be limited to that sect for life, after all, it takes a lot of resources for a sect to cultivate a strong person. Mu Xu replied.
"There's no other way?" Lu Feng'er asked again.
"The more lenient one is the academy opened by Principal Rennes, and he can enroll as long as he passes the assessment, and if the fee is really necessary, he can owe it first, and slowly repay it when he has the strength. ”
"But he is the only one who can support this way, because the money needed in this early stage is afraid that it can directly crush a great grandmaster. ”
"But because of this, Principal Wren is now all over the world, not to mention his own strength, his influence alone is unmatched, and even the emperor of the current Southern Empire has to be respectful when he sees him, treating him with the courtesy of a teacher. Fortunately, he doesn't have much interest in political power, otherwise it can be said that life and soul are indispensable, right?" Mu Xu's eyelids drooped slightly, and his expression was soft.
