Chapter 30: Apprenticeship with the Iron Old Man
After apprenticeship, Long Li moved into the old man Tie's house in Xicheng on the same day.
At first, I couldn't see anything outside, but after I really learned about this house, I was shocked.
The courtyard where the old man lived was only 80 steps in front and back, but the length reached an astonishing 300 steps, and the entire building was evenly divided into three areas: living, refining, and cultivating.
Long Li was taken to a small 80-square-meter building in the living quarters, which was the room that the old man had prepared for him.
This room was originally a guest room, and since no one lived in it for a long time, the old man gave it directly to Long Li.
The room is divided into two rooms, one for guests and one for living, and all kinds of furniture are complete, which can be described as a bag to move in.
"Whew, so much dust, how long has the old man not lived here?"
"What's the matter, it's yours in the future, clean up yourself." After saying that, the old man turned around and left.
It took 2 hours to clean up and scrub, the room was completely new, and the room at this time has changed a lot, and the clean and tidy furniture makes the room look much more beautiful.
After asking Long Li, I found out that there was no apprenticeship banquet to look forward to at night, and I knew from the appearance of the old man Tie that I had to do it myself.
"Boy, are you going to make your own apprenticeship banquet?"
"This is the etiquette of apprenticeship, it must be had!"
"It's a pity that the gods can't eat it."
"It's not easy if you want to eat, I'll make it for you someday."
"That's pretty much it." Lao Jin was satisfied and silent.
Long Li bought 2,000 gold coins of ingredients, and then made a table of good dishes for the old man Tie himself, which was his own apprenticeship, so the specifications were very high.
Looking at the table full of dishes, the old man Tie didn't know where to put his chopsticks for a while.
"This is braised win-water fish, this is casserole magic beef brisket, grilled hot pork neck, boiled ice quinoa, braised phoenix crab in oil......"
Long Li reported more than a dozen dish names in one bite, and the old man Tie was stunned when he heard it.
"You did all this?"
Long Li smiled and nodded in recognition, that humble appearance made the old man Tie as if he knew Long Li for the first time.
"Try this dish first."
The old man picked up a piece of fish and meat, gently put it in his mouth and chewed it, and his face suddenly turned into a sense of happy satisfaction, this taste is amazing!
"I'll leave the food to you in the future!"
Long Li was not surprised by this result, "Yes, but you have to be responsible for this ingredient, although we are masters and apprentices, I can't afford to support you." ”
As soon as he heard that he wanted someone to raise him, the old man immediately blew his beard and glared.
"Lao Tzu has hands and feet, and his body is strong and tough, why do you want to feed him? I've also taken care of your food, lest you call me stingy. ”
"How can you, you are bold, magnificent, benevolent!"
"Don't, the old man can't stand it! Is 3,000 gold coins a month enough for you to buy ingredients? ”
Long Li pointed to a table of dishes, "Today's ingredients are 2,000 gold coins." ”
Taba –
The old man's chopsticks fell to the ground, "This is 2,000 gold coins?" ”
Long Li nodded, "These are the freshest ingredients, and if you want to eat well, the cost is naturally very high." ”
The old man picked up the chopsticks, then took a big bite of the rice, and ate a small half bowl before saying slowly: "Then 300 crystal coins per month, you can buy whatever you want, but there is a little quality that is not allowed for me to drop." ”
Long Li smiled happily, "No problem! ”
After dinner, Long Li was taken to the cultivation room by the old man Tie.
"Since you have entered my door, I still have to understand your foundation."
As he spoke, the old man's momentum changed dramatically, his stiff waist was straight, and his eyes were filled with ingested light.
He hooked his finger at Long Li, "Now, show your greatest strength, let me see what you are capable of." ”
Long Li grinned, "Then you can be careful." ”
You Long Dance walked directly, and Long Li walked around to the side of the old man Tie and directly gave a fierce side kick, but he didn't even touch the old man's hair at all.
Long Li withdrew his right foot, and immediately retreated, but the next moment a finger was pressed against the back of his neck.
Long Li was covered in a cold sweat, and froze in place and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
"Fight with people, you're dead."
The corners of Long Li's mouth twitched, he didn't even see a figure, it was simply a crushing game.
Whew, the old man appeared in front of Long Li again in a flash.
"Come again!"
Long Li exhaled deeply and let go of his contemptuous mentality.
"Now I'm going to be serious!"
"8x punch - Otoru!"
Bang!
Long Li slammed a straight fist straight into the iron old man's face, but he was never able to break through that one-foot distance.
Long Li looked at the film in front of his fist in surprise, this was the second time, and it was this layer of film that blocked his killing kick just now.
The iron old man tapped his index finger, and Long Li was directly pressed backwards.
Squeak –
Long Li's feet gripped the ground tightly, leaving two long marks on the ground.
Long Li's face was full of unwillingness, and just as he was about to strike again, the old man spoke again.
"Stop, I probably know your strength."
Long Li put down his fists and asked with a smile, "Oh, what strength do I have now?" ”
The old man said slowly, "First Order Primary! ”
This result is not surprising.
Since he was promoted to the first rank, no matter how hard he tried to cultivate the realm, he had not seen the slightest increase, and he even wondered if it was a problem with his own exercises.
"You're not at this level, though."
Long Li's eyes widened, as if he had found a savior, "Master Tie, my realm hasn't grown since I entered the first order, do you know what the reason is?" ”
The corners of Old Man Tie's mouth twitched, "How much do you know about the way of cultivation?" ”
Long Li snapped his fingers and said, "Isn't cultivation just about exercising strength, meditating to absorb vitality, and practicing martial arts diligently?" ”
“……”
The old man was so dark in front of him that he almost fainted.
"How did you go to school before?"
Long Li scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just made a name for myself in school, and I spend most of my time hunting in the wilderness to earn tuition." ”
"You've been hunting in the wilderness for three years?"
"Five years to be exact, and it took a lot of time to save up for tuition."
The old man felt a pain in his heart, he didn't know how a ten-year-old boy had survived in the wilderness all these years, but he felt the hardship.
The old man's face was much gentler, "Then you can listen to me now." ”
"The human race cultivates the universal origin method, and the so-called origin method means that you must absorb a demon beast origin of the same level every time you advance to the first level, otherwise the cultivation of the next level will not be able to be opened."
"My problem is that I haven't absorbed the origin of the first-order demon beast, so the realm can't be improved?"
"The children can be taught!"
"What's the benefit of absorbing the Origin?"
"In addition to advancing ranks, you can also get martial arts."
Long Li was surprised, "Can you get martial arts?" ”
The old man patiently explained: "There are two kinds of martial arts, one is the skill that you have learned through cultivation, and the other is the skill obtained by absorbing the origin of the beast, and the latter is the main way for the human race to obtain martial arts. ”
Long Li understood, the martial arts of the emotional sideburns and Zhang Heng came from this.
"Can you choose the martial arts you get from absorbing the origin?"
The old man shook his head, "You can't choose, the martial arts are randomly selected when you absorb the origin of the demon beast, which may or may not be suitable for you." ”
The corners of Long Li's mouth twitched, and Zhang Hengyi's fury was forcefully stuffed.
This man died unjustly.
"By the way, Iron Old Man......"
"Huh?" The old man looked at Long Li with a threatening look in his eyes.
Long Li's face changed, "Tie, Master!" Will there be a change in the personality of the warrior who absorbs the origin of the demon beast, such as a warrior with berserk skills, who is easy to get angry. ”
The old man looked at Long Li in surprise, "Have you encountered it?" ”
Long Li's little head nodded wildly, "Not only have I encountered it, but I have also slaughtered it!" ”
"Oh, that's not a small thing."
"It's a small meaning, it's just a matter of doing it casually."
Lao Jin snickered, this bull was really unburdened, and I don't know who almost hung up at the beginning.
The old man smiled without saying a word, and did not dismantle Long Li.
"The character of the martial artist promoted by the Origin Method will be affected to some extent, and this has only been discovered in recent decades, but I didn't expect you kid to find out by yourself."
Long Li smiled, "Ben Shao is a genius." ”
"Whether it's a genius or a fool, it's best to be cautious when choosing an Origin Demon Beast."
Long Li agrees with this very much, if he really wants to choose a short-tempered beast as the source, he may kill himself one day, just like Zhang Hengyi.
"In addition to personality and temperament, is there anything to pay attention to when choosing a demon beast?"
This question can be asked to the old man of the inverted iron, he has never cared much about cultivation in refining weapons, and Long Li's problem is already beyond the outline.
As soon as the Iron Old Man's momentum opened, his whole body was boiling, and the shadow of a blue Ahuizotl gradually appeared behind him, and the Iron Old Man's body shape also became similar to it.
"It's the same kind of demon beast that I'm in general, and it's the same kind of demon beast that continues to accumulate and promote, and those with different body shapes and traces of demon beasts choose different demon beasts to advance, as for how to choose, you need to make your own choice."
Now it's Long Li's turn to be depressed, the range of options is not small, what kind of demon beast does he choose?
Seeing that Long Li was puzzled, the old man Tie comforted: "Choosing the Origin Beast is not a matter of morning or night, so there is no hurry. ”
Only then did Long Li settle down, but he suddenly realized another problem.
That's why you can only absorb demon beasts of the same level.
As a genius Long Wu who leads the trend of a new generation, Long Li feels that he can do a little better.
The old man's answer is also very simple, that is, choose according to your own ability, as long as you are not afraid of being blown up, you are free.
Long Li only has MMP left in his heart, and it's good to be casual, this is to gamble with his life.
However, there is really no scientific way to choose in the Dragon Martial Continent.
There are only a few cultivation methods, but in fact, the dragon has to be buried.
The road has been set at the beginning, what is Long Wu, it is the warrior who chooses the Divine Dragon as the origin of the divine beast, from this point of view, in fact, Long Li has already chosen the road.
This is also the reason why Lao Jin has not spoken.
In fact, this knowledge is the most basic thing, but Long Li has been busy surviving in the wilderness and has no time to learn. Now, it's almost a one-time make-up.
However, this is still not enough for Long Li.
"Master, is that magical ability like yours just now unique to you or ......?"
The iron old man's index finger pointed out a thin armor tan, "This is a common ability of sixth-order martial artists, Yuan Qi Condensing Armor!" ”
Long Li was envious, "Iron... Master, when will I be able to do it? ”
The old man smiled, "If you are really a genius, you can do it at the 4th order, but if you want to block other people's attacks, I'm afraid you have to work hard." ”
Long Li's face was full of disappointment, and feelings were a high-level means.
"By the way, I have also met a lot of martial artists of this rank, why is the difference in strength so big?"
"This is going to start with the cultivation stage."
"The first three orders are actually the stage of tempering the body and adapting the body to the vitality, so the most obvious gap between the martial artists is strength, which you will have a great advantage in the future as a refiner."
"And the third- to sixth-order cultivation is the Yuan Force, and the strength of the Yuan Force determines the power of your martial arts, so the difference in the combat power of the martial artists in this range will be obvious."
"So what level are you at?"
The old man looked at Long Li with a smile, "When it comes to fighting, I am a sixth-order bottom-tier existence. ”
Long Li's face suddenly collapsed, and he felt that his strength couldn't even beat the level of the old man Tie.
It's a shame.
"Looks like I've got to work hard."
The old man was very satisfied with Long Li's attitude, "Strength is unlimited, don't get lost in the pursuit of power, the strength of the weapon is also crucial." ”
Long Li nodded, he knew this very well.
It seems that you have to find your own way to become stronger.
Feeling that the ink in his stomach was about to run out, the old man turned around and left directly, "Okay, after the cultivation is completed, we will measure the rest." ”
"And?"
The old man was a little impatient, "Come with me, that's what you have to say." ”
