As soon as these words came out, Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, "Since you said that my family has a prominent status, the elephant technique left behind must also be of the Heaven Rank." Yang Ming swallowed his saliva and said with a smile.

Generally speaking, due to the different mental images, the types of elephant art are also very complicated, such as swordsmanship, fist techniques, etc., and these various types of elephant techniques are divided into four levels: heaven, earth and mortal dust. Each level is divided into three levels: junior high school and high school. Of course, the Elephant Technique also has to match its own strength in order to exert its strength, if a Chenyao-level national warrior, even if he cultivates the Heavenly Rank Elephant Technique, it is basically impossible to defeat a Moon-Yao level National Scholar who cultivates the Dust Rank Elephant Technique. Therefore, the way of cultivation, in a word, is to cultivate martial arts inside and practice elephant art outside.

Snorted lightly, the corners of Zu Ze's mouth raised slightly, "The elephant technique left by the family can be said to be a heavenly level, or it can be said that it is not." ”

The little face was stunned, and Yang Ming couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What does this mean?"

"No matter what kind of elephant technique, whether it is powerful or not, it depends on how the practitioner himself uses and develops it. Through the cultivator's continuous and diligent cultivation and never-ending pursuit, how can the Elephant Art only stay at the Heavenly Level?" Zu Ze put on a teaching posture and spoke seriously, "If you set a measure for Gao, then when you reach this degree, you will not have any new breakthroughs, what is high is that it has no height. This is the case with the family's Elephant Technique, which can continue to grow as the cultivation deepens, and it is an endless growth, just like the heavens have no height, and the world has no end. ”

His heart skipped a beat, Yang Ming listened to Zu Ze talk in a daze, and it took a long time to react, "You mean that this elephant art can be higher than the heavenly level?" This is what Yang Ming has never heard, the previous college lectures, the explanation of the elephant technique, whether it is a textbook or a teacher, their conclusion is that the ultimate of the elephant art is the advanced level of the heavenly level, but now Zu Ze has broken this conventional understanding, there is no so-called extreme in the elephant technique, it is like a boundless road, how long it is, it depends on how far the practitioner can go.

"Of course you can, it depends on whether you can cultivate to such a state. ”

"Has anyone in our family ever cultivated?"

"This elephant art was created by our ancestors, and it has become more and more mature after being carved by the rings. And its most glorious time was in the battle of unification thousands of years ago, an ancestor of the family, with this elephant technique, swept away ten thousand armies with a sword, this elephant technique is called, supreme realm. Zu Ze's last three words were extraordinarily heavy, as if there was a thousand catties of weight on the tip of his tongue.

"Sword?"

"That's right, the supreme realm that has been passed down by the family is that only the descendants of the heart image as a sword can cultivate. ”

"Supreme!" Yang Ming's eyes were nothing but shock, "It's so cool, I want to learn this." ”

"Don't worry, if you want to learn, you must swear that from now on, you will shoulder the mission of the family and restore the glory of the family. Would you like to?"

"I do. No longer hesitating, Yang Ming nodded happily and said. Originally, Yang Ming's wish was just to change his fate, but he didn't expect that now he would shoulder the mission of the family again, but things in the world are really strange, struggling in fate, but deep in fate.

"Okay, the family contract is completed, the heir cultivation task has begun, from today on, you are the official heir of the family, and my Zu Ze will also assist you wholeheartedly, young master. Zu Ze's attitude suddenly became humble, and he even knelt down in the face of Yang Ming, and shouted solemnly.

Such a big gift really flattered Yang Ming, a country boy, and it was the first time someone treated him like this when he was so old, "Don't be like this, just call me Yang Ming." ”

"This is a family law, since you are the heir of the family, you should be the young master of Zuze. Zu Ze's young appearance was very incompatible with his pedantic etiquette, so he pouted helplessly, and Yang Ming had no choice but to go with him. "In accordance with the family law, I will assist the young master wholeheartedly, and at the same time, you must also abide by the family law. ”

"What family laws do I have to follow?"

"The life of the family is your life, the glory of the family is your glory, and everything is based on the family, this is the family law. If you do anything in the future that is detrimental to the interests of the family or contrary to the mission of the family, I will also punish you in accordance with the family law. As he spoke, Zu Ze slowly got up from the ground, and his face gradually became serious, which reminded Yang Ming of the dean's lecture when he first entered the school. As the saying goes, the hospital has its rules, and the family has its own laws.

"Well, I see, I promise to follow the family law. Yang Ming raised his hand and solemnly promised, "Then, you can teach me elephant art now." Later, the boy asked eagerly.

"Not yet, young master, your current strength of Wu Yao is not yet able to cultivate the Elephant Technique. Zu Ze poured cold water on Yang Ming's face as soon as he opened his mouth, "To cultivate elephant arts, you must first have a solid foundation, that is, Wu Yao's strength must be strong enough." ”

"What, but I agreed with Liu Qianyu to compete in a month, if I lose, I will be kicked out of the Martial Arts Academy. ”

"That's not necessarily, I already knew about your bet with Liu Qianyu, one month is enough for you to have time to defeat him, the key is how you can cultivate to ten forces at the fastest speed. ”

"Since I was admitted to the hospital for half a year, I have been cultivating hard every day and night, but I haven't made any breakthroughs, how can I cultivate to ten forces in a month?" Yang Ming sank his head, and his small face was full of melancholy.

Zu Ze glanced at the frustrated Yang Ming, but said unhurriedly: "Your cultivation is indeed very hardworking, and you can endure your temperament, it stands to reason that with your talent, you should have reached the level of Ten Strength Chenyao, but there has been no breakthrough for a long time, the reason is your meridians." ”

"Meridians?"

Zu Ze's face changed suddenly, and he said, "In the past half a year, although Wu Yao's cultivation in your body is more majestic and powerful, but the meridians have not been strengthened, Wu Yao is like flowing water, and the meridians are the river, the river is spacious and unimpeded, and the flowing water can be unimpeded, if the water is strong and the river is weak, the river will burst the embankment and flood, so the two must be cultivated and strengthened simultaneously, and now you are Wu Yao who is strong and weak, which causes Wu Yao to circulate in the meridians poorly, so he has not been able to make a breakthrough." ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Yang Ming was puzzled: "However, in the past half a year, I have never relaxed my physical exercise, and I even work harder than others, why haven't my meridians been strengthened?"

Zu Ze leaned down and said, "Because your body is restricted by witchcraft. This restriction comes from the curse of a certain family, after the battle of unification, the sinister foreigners in their hearts, fearing that our family will one day make a comeback, cursed our clan with witchcraft, so that our clan will not be able to cultivate for generations, even if Wu Yao awakens, he will not be able to become stronger because of the weak meridians of his body. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming hurriedly groped his body, his eyes were full of consternation, "My body is cursed, how can I break it?"

"Don't worry, young master. Zu Ze smiled lightly, "Back then, your father also struggled with this, but later thanks to your mother's help, he broke through the curse, and this is the way your mother worked hard to develop the solution. ”

After speaking, Zu Ze raised a white finger of his right hand, and with a slight touch, a little fluorescence suddenly flashed from the end of the finger, fluttering up, like a firefly flying in the grass, Yang Ming subconsciously stretched out his little hand, and the fluorescence fell leisurely in his palm.

In a flash, a simple and dark yellow bamboo piece spread out in Yang Ming's palm, and when he looked at it, a shimmering font appeared on the bamboo piece:

"Awakening Dan!"

"Is this left by my mother?" Yang Ming stroked the words on the bamboo piece with his excited little hand, this was the first time he touched the traces of his relatives, although the bamboo piece was cold, but it made Yang Ming feel warm, but when he began to examine the content of the text, Yang Ming's face began to become solemn.

"A rejuvenating grass, broken bones and withered rhizomes......" Yang Ming's teeth trembled, and he struggled to squeeze out this obscure secret recipe, like an alien text, but he didn't expect that this way to crack it was a pill.

After a long time, Yang Ming's eyes for help moved to Zu Ze, "This thing knows me, I don't know it, can you refine this Dan?"

Hearing this, Zu Ze also frowned slightly, and shook his head regretfully: "Although I have a secret recipe, I still have to ask you how to refine medicine." ”

"I'm coming, what's the joke, I can't even name all the medicinal herbs on it?" Yang Ming's eyes widened and he roared.

"I'm a psychic wizard, and I'm not good at alchemy. The young master doesn't know how to refine medicine, you can ask the medicine wizard for help, the huge martial arts academy, isn't there a medicine wizard you know?" Zu Zezheng wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly his expression paused, and he lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming, I can't tell you more, please remember that your background and my identity must not be known to the second person." ”

"Hey, you're going to run away, how can there be a servant like you. ”

"As the saying goes, ten steps away, there must be fragrant grass, young master, and peace of mind, everything will be solved. As the last sentence ended, Zu Ze dissipated like a wisp of green smoke, "Only the descendants of the family can detect my existence, and others can't see me, and I will temporarily live in the body of the young master in the future, not to mention, that person came over." ”

Taking a deep breath, Yang Ming also noticed a slight sound of footsteps behind him, turned his head, and looked at the approaching figure, but Yang Ming's face was happy, and he saluted respectfully: "Elder Weng, why are you here so late?"

"Didn't you sleep too, are you bothered by the things of the day?" Following the voice came an old man, about sixty years old, slender but in good spirits, dressed in a white robe, clean and plain. He is the steward of the Lower Talent Academy, and manages the entire Lower Talent Academy. Although Weng Lao was named as the steward of the Xiacai Academy, he didn't have much strength, because Weng Lao was originally just a hired medicine wizard of the Martial Arts Academy, because the Xiacai Academy was first established seven years ago, and no one wanted to be the steward of a group of poor students, so Weng Lao was pushed to this position for no reason.

"Shangcai Academy is really too deceitful, it's not enough to occupy two martial arts training grounds, it also robs us. Speaking of the day's affairs, Weng Lao is also sullen and aggrieved, he is always angry with the teachers of the Shangcai Academy on weekdays, but he didn't expect them to do so desperately this time, which clearly drove the students of the Xiacai Academy out of the Martial Arts Academy.

"Elder Weng, don't worry, I will definitely guard our martial arts training ground, and I will definitely not let those guys from the Shangcai Academy succeed. Yang Ming's palms were clenched tightly, and he said to Weng Lao with a smile.

Weng Lao smiled with satisfaction, and then frowned again, "I have also heard about your bet with Liu Qianyu, Yang Ming, you are really reckless, Liu Qianyu's strength has reached Xingyao, and he can also use elephant arts, are you sure to win him? You are the hope for the future of our Xia Cai Academy, if you lose, you will have to leave the Martial Arts Academy, then our Xia Cai Yuan will really have no hope." ”

"Elder Weng, I am confident that I can defeat Liu Qianyu, but I still need your help. Yang Ming's eyes rolled, although Weng Lao didn't have much strength, but in terms of achievements in medicine refining, Weng Lao was one of the best in the Martial Arts Academy. So, Yang Ming handed the bamboo piece in his right hand to Weng Lao's eyes,

"This is our family's ancestral secret recipe, it is said to be able to open up people's strange meridians and eight veins, and help cultivation, but I don't understand pharmacology, and I have to help Weng Lao." ”

Hearing this, Weng Lao was slightly stunned, and took the bamboo piece handed by Yang Ming in disbelief, thinking that Yang Ming, a poor baby, could have any secret recipe, however, when his eyes fell on the words on the bamboo piece, his face instantly widened, a pair of old eyes suddenly widened, and his vague gaze became hot, and the hands holding the bamboo slice couldn't help but tremble, as if he was carrying ten thousand catties of gold.

After a long time, the trembling teeth squeezed out a sentence, "Where did you get this secret recipe?"

"This is an ancestral secret recipe, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't dare to take it out easily. Yang Ming said perfunctorily, in fact, it was not a lie, after all, according to Zu Ze, this secret recipe was indeed a relic left to him by his mother.

"I have been refining medicine for decades, and I have seen countless secret recipes for pills, and your secret recipe, the pharmacology is mysterious, and the combination of medicinal materials is also very strange and surprising, such as broken bones and rejuvenating grass, these two medicines are dead and alive, but they are extremely impulsive, but the so-called death and resurrection, only by destroying the old can we build a new one, refining the muscles and bones, washing the meridians, it is really bold and novel. ”

Yang Ming's expression froze, although he didn't understand what Weng Lao said, but he understood one thing, that is, this secret recipe was indeed a good thing.

"So, Elder Weng, can you refine this medicine?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Weng Lao said frankly, "Forgive me for being powerless, I can't refine this medicine." ”

"Isn't there a secret recipe? Why can't you refine it?"

"You think it's so easy to refine medicine, the dosage of medicinal materials, the grasp of the heat when refining medicine, the mastery of medicinal properties, etc., every step is carefully studied, even if there is a secret recipe, the ability to refine medicine is not enough, it is in vain. And this medicine is very weird, on the surface, it seems to be just a three-flavor pill for refining the meridians, but if you think about it carefully, there is a strong and mysterious power hidden in the mysterious pharmacology, and I can't assert the grade of this medicine, at least I can't refine this medicine. ”

In the Glorious Continent, in addition to the exquisite and mysterious magic, there are many elixirs, which are magical and charming, and according to the miraculous effects and medicinal properties of various types of elixirs, they are divided into one to nine flavors from low to high.

It is precisely because medicine has a grade that the medicine wizards in the continent are all proud of refining high-grade medicines, and this is also the most authoritative representative of the status and strength of medicine wizards. Because among the sorcerers, the strength level is the same as that of the national warriors, and it is also divided into four levels according to the sun, moon and stars, with ten forces at each level, except for the medicine wizard, the medicine wizard relies on the mastery of pharmacological knowledge, which can be said to be a thorough literati, so refining high-grade pills has become a representative of the medicine wizard to prove his strength. And Weng Lao was able to be hired as a medicine wizard by the Martial Arts Academy, because Weng Lao once refined a four-flavor grade elixir, which was one of the few in Jiang China. Another example is the Jiang family, the Lou family, it is said that twenty years ago, the Lou family once refined a six-flavor pill, which caused a sensation in the entire Jiang country, and because of this six-flavor pill, the Lou family's status as the first medicine wizard in the Jiang country was established.

......

After hearing Weng Lao's helpless words, Yang Ming lowered his head in a dejected manner, if he couldn't even do Weng Lao, I am afraid that no one in the Martial Arts Academy would be able to refine this medicine.

Looking at Yang Ming's lost appearance, Weng Lao's heart trembled slightly, his palm rubbed this leaf bamboo piece, and he struggled in his heart for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Yang Ming, if you refine this medicine, you can really defeat Liu Qianyu?"

Facing Elder Weng's inquiring gaze, Yang Ming nodded heavily at Elder Weng, "I promise to defeat Liu Qianyu and guard our martial arts training ground." ”

Weng Lao looked at Yang Ming with complicated eyes, and only after a long breath did he let out a long breath, and made up his mind: "It seems that I can only take you to her, if there is someone in the Martial Arts Academy who can refine this medicine, it must be her Wu family." ”

"Who is she?"

"My teacher. Weng Lao smiled mysteriously, his chest straightened slightly, and there was a hint of pride in his voice, "It's just that this teacher of mine lives in seclusion in Asahi Mountain all the year round and never sees outsiders, so it's hard to say whether she can agree to refine medicine for you." However, in order for us to go to the hospital, we had to take a gamble. ”

Weng Lao is worthy of being the old medicine wizard of the Martial Arts Academy, with a rich collection, and after returning that night, he prepared the medicinal materials according to the secret recipe records, and packed a bamboo basket. At this time, Yang Ming suddenly remembered Zu Ze's words, "Ten steps to Ze, there must be fragrant grass." "Could it be that Zu Ze already knew that there were people in Asahi Mountain who could help him refine medicine, and it was quite accurate, Weng Lao would definitely take him to find that nobleman.

After returning to the dormitory, Yang Mingjiang told Zu Ze what he thought in his heart, but Zu Ze smiled slightly and said indifferently:

"Everything is the creation of the young master. ”

Is it creation, or is there already an arrangement in the dark? Yang Ming didn't know, but when he looked at Zu Ze's mysterious face again, Yang Ming couldn't help but have a little more respect in his eyes.
