Desert lands.

The young man stood respectfully in front of an old man in a blue robe, a little nervous and apprehensive in his heart.

The old man couldn't see joy or sorrow on his face, and asked, "How do you think you are doing?"

Do you have to summarize and reflect like this every time you finish killing in the future...... The young man had exhausted his energy and strength by making such a respectful gesture, and he couldn't help but yawn.

"Do you still want to become stronger?" Ling Lao frowned slightly and shook his head secretly.

"Yes. Ling Ye reluctantly answered, but his figure was uncontrollably crooked.

A girl not far away, who had always been paying attention to this side, saw this, and hurriedly came to the scene and helped up the young man who was about to fall.

"Are you tired?"

Ling Lao's brows furrowed even tighter, and without waiting for the young man to answer, he said to himself, "I know you're tired, but let's not mention that it's easier for people to break through the realm when they're at their limit, and they need more determination to practice and temper themselves." Even at this time, you have not yet reached your limit. ”

"I ......" the teenager who was being supported was about to defend himself.

The old man waved his robe, and a snort interrupted his words:

"Do you want to say that you have done your best, and even killed two monsters that are much stronger than you this time?

I am already aware of your greedy nature, and I have no objection to you using any means that can be used to win in life-and-death battles, but at least for now, what you need most is a solid and unremitting spiritual foundation and practical experience. ”

"But ......" the young man felt even more puzzled and aggrieved.

"But why are we in such a hurry?"

The old man interrupted his words again, "The urgency of time will not have much to do with your cultivation path, and we will not allow it...... The only thing you have to do now is to lay a solid foundation for your practice. And all these battles and even desperate situations are designed to bring out the unmanifested potential in you. ”

"What other potential do I have, am I really talented?"

The young man tried to ask, but when he saw that he was finally not interrupted this time, his expression was slightly excited and expectant.

"You're a great idea, and you're talented, huh...... Forget it, talent and qualification are actually not the most important thing in the cultivation world, everything in the world is most needed to adhere to the word, thousands of years of hard work and experience, better than all innate factors. Even the so-called top talents, when faced with difficulties and obstacles and the threshold of cultivation, may be far inferior to the rest of the cultivators with the mean qualifications. The old man's face stiffened slightly, and his words softened a little.

“......”

The young man secretly guessed and analyzed this passage, and while his heart was a little gloomy, his back unconsciously straightened.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said with a straight face:

"The disciple does like to borrow strength and behaves a little tired, which comes from the disciple's heart and habits, but it does not mean that the disciple will not work hard. There is still a lot of time, so please continue to watch my future combat performance. ”

"I'm looking forward to it,"

The old man's face softened slightly, and then changed back to the original topic, "How do you think you are performing?"

The young man pondered seriously for a while, and replied, "The disciple still hasn't killed any of the demonic beasts independently this time, and there are still many problems.

For example, when killing a male lizardman, the pre-battle preparation is still lacking, which leads to a lot of thrills and flaws during the escape and lure of the lizardman......

Even when fighting against the second one, although the disciple secretly observed it for a few days, there were still many flaws, if it weren't for the stupidity of the accident...... The witch and the little guy help each other, and the disciple has little chance of winning, and at most they will die together. ”

Seeing that the teacher's expression was calm, the young man didn't mind, first looked at the girl who had been supporting him wordlessly with gratitude, patted her transparent arm twice, and stood alone, then raised his head slightly and said:

"But the disciple thinks that he still has some progress, compared to the panic in the face of the supernatural at the earliest, the recklessness in the face of the faceless, and the arrogance in the face of the phantom, the disciple is now fighting two or three times, at least there is some planning and measurement in advance, and the experience of dealing with the battle has also been improved to a certain extent, and he will no longer be at a loss as before. ”

The old man did not express his position or comment, but just nodded his head, opened the topic, and moved on to other things:

"Do you still have doubts?"

"The disciple is indeed puzzled!"

The young man's spirit was for a while, and Shuo Shuo said, "It's about the [Spiritual Vision] and [Illusion Dream] spells that the disciple has comprehended in an ignorant way, and I would like to ask the teacher to explain its principles and applications." And why is it that it doesn't work against some of the opponents, but because of the mental strength of both sides, or is it only effective when the enemy is weaker than me, or even when he is seriously injured?"

"One by one,"

The old man's right hand dotted, pressed the young man's spiritual head, and then explained,

"The spells you named [Spiritual Vision] and [Illusion Dream] are actually just the manifestations of the first realm of [Spiritual Technique] cultivation.

The so-called [dreaming], you should have experienced it in the dream with this girl on that day, that is, you have realized the truth of "I and you are also illusory". Although it is only a trace of skin, it also touches the realm of the soul.

And since you and I can both be phantom beings in the dream realm, there is no need to distinguish too clearly between reality and sleep.

Since this kind of realization, some subtle perceptions and psychedelic abilities can be regarded as side effects of the initial exposure of your cultivation, but they are not worth delving too deep into. Of course, its value in battle is still remarkable.

The ability to perceive the soul and spiritual power is an amplified instinct, as long as the other party has no special defenses, or the realm is much higher than you, there will always be some effect, which can be omitted;

And this kind of psychedelic ability, because you use it too roughly, can only directly force the creature to sleep, that is, your own soul to influence and even control the other party's soul, so it is extremely difficult for the opponent to guard, but it is also generally not allowed to be used across the large realm, so as not to suffer from it. ”

The old man paused for a moment, and after the young man had finished remembering and digesting it, he spoke again: "Coupled with the fact that you have been able to deduce the results of several circumstances, your success in casting spells on enemies higher than your own realm is due to the fact that the other party is seriously injured and has little spiritual power consumed.

Especially the demon king in the four realms, it is a phantom demon clan, tired of its kind of talent, its soul is already mixed and flawed, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Actually, as far as you are concerned, unless you specialize in this path, at most you can only do it to people in the same great realm. ”

"The disciple understands," the young man's face was suddenly but still a little unwilling, and he hesitated for a moment before finally asking again, "Does the teacher have a way to eliminate this spell?"

The old man shook his head helplessly, knowing that this disciple's impatient temperament still needed to be sharpened, and patiently replied: "For the general cultivation method, the soul element needs at least the middle and late stages of the four realms or even the fifth realm to be gradually involved, and before that, you can only passively increase your soul strength as the realm improves. Even if it's like my cultivation method, it needs to be at the beginning of your Four Realms, and even if I teach you the method at this moment, it will be harmful and useless. ”

When the young man was about to be completely disappointed, the old man chuckled: "However, if it only affects the higher level for a while, there is also a way to weaken the strength of the backlash a little." It's just a spell related to the soul, not to mention the hardships and difficulties of cultivation, and you should already have some experience in the dangers that were cast during the period. ”

"The disciple will not be in a critical position in the future, and he will never use it on someone whose realm is higher than the disciple!" the young man climbed up the pole and said solemnly with a smile on his face.

The old man's face smiled a little weirdly: "That's fine, anyway, your injury this time is not light, and you should have more than ten days of cultivation time in the future, so let's exercise here for a few days first." ”

Before the other party could say anything in front of him, this old man, with a light wave of his blue robe, a huge coercion instantly covered the young man, separating the young man by the way.

Then a thunderbolt of lightning struck down on a sunny day, hitting the body of the young man who had no ability to dodge, and before his screams could be made, he was stunned and scurryed with thunder, until this humanoid "lightning rod" could no longer utter a word......

"After all, he is only a realm, and his soul is too weak. This is a method that the old man has carefully experimented with that can significantly enhance the strength of the soul and willpower, and the only drawback is only a little painful. Don't worry, his body is not here, and with the protection of the old man, at least he can't die. ”

The old man tapped his fingers again and again, and explained to the stunned and anxious girl not far away, his expression was happy and he looked very happy......
