"Teacher, I think, it's not that other people don't know how to work hard, it's that they can't persevere." Xiao Yan retorted, "I have been formally cultivating since I was two years old, and I have never had a day of slacking off, so I have the strength I have now. ”

"Teacher, I admit that I can have the strength I have now, talent and luck are very important, but you can't ignore my persistence and hard work."

"Yan'er, the teacher believes in you, you can reach the ninth level of Dou Qi at the age of seven, and you can't do it with talent alone." Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Yun Yun replied, "The teacher said this to you, not to belittle you to uselessness. ”

"Hard work, everyone knows hard work, but if you work hard, how many people can do it?" Yun Yun asked, "Just imagine, what would you do if you failed when condensing the Dou Qi and your strength fell back to the Eight Rank Dou Qi?" ”

"Of course, I will continue to cultivate and go back and break through again." Xiao Yan replied firmly.

"Great, but what if it fails again? Of course you'll keep trying. One failure, two times. But what if it fails ten times, a hundred times? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something. In the original book, Emperor Yan was sucked out of his fighting spirit by Yaochen, and he never gave up after being a waste for three years. Even if all the fighting qi that he cultivated every day could not be condensed in his body, he never gave up his cultivation.

If it were you, would you be able to do it? No one knows how long this "waste constitution" will exist, and how many years can they last?

"It's not just a possibility," Yun Yun emphasized, "except for a very small number of people in this world, everyone can cultivate. But why do more than half of the people always stay in the fighting spirit? ”

"Because they really failed ten, even hundreds. If it were you, how many times could you hold out? ”

"Persistence is because hard work can be rewarded, but what if you can't see the return?"

Hearing Yun Yun's question, Xiao Yan's footsteps stopped, and he stood there in a daze, thinking about the answer to this question.

Once, for Xiao Yan, although the daily cultivation was hard enough, he never got tired of it.

On the one hand, he knew very well that in this Douqi Continent where the weak eat the strong, strength is the foundation of everything, and if you want to control your own destiny, you must have strong strength. On the other hand, every day of cultivation, he could sense that his strength was constantly getting stronger. This feeling of hard work and reward makes him extremely satisfied.

It's like playing a game, and you can see that your experience bar is constantly increasing, and this motivation will not be low. But what if the level is stuck?

If one day, your cultivation falls into a bottleneck and you can't break through no matter how hard you try, how long can you persevere?

Hearing that the apprentice stopped, Yun Yun turned around and looked at Xiao Yan who was meditating quietly.

The sunlight passed through the woods on both sides of the road, casting the kind morning mist in the trees, revealing several bright "pathways", shining on the two of them, like a dream.

Standing there was a teacher and her new disciples.

"Of course, such a thing as being trapped in the Dou Qi stage for a lifetime will naturally not happen to you. Your soul, your talent, is your innate talent, it's your luck, and you don't have to be presumptuous. Looking at the silent Xiao Yan, Yun Yun said, "But everyone will encounter their own bottlenecks, and it just comes sooner or later." ”

"Did you meet the teacher?" Xiao Yan asked.

"I'm lucky, I haven't yet, but I should meet soon." Yun Yun sighed lightly and said, "My teacher, that is, your ancestor, had the strength of the Nine-Star Dou Huang a hundred years ago, and he was only one step away from the Dou Zong. ”

Yun Yun sighed: "But this step has spanned a hundred years...... If nothing else, I'll probably be the same as your ancestor. She suddenly raised her head and turned her gaze to the side, which was the direction of the Gate of Life and Death.

After a long time, Yun Yun turned around and continued to walk forward, "Talent is a kind of luck, and luck is not a kind of talent. ”

"But luck will come to an end...... Be mentally prepared. Since this sentence is for the apprentice, it is also for herself.

The once incomparably powerful sect has long since become history, it only exists in the classics, only heard of in the mouth of the teacher, and even his own teacher has never seen a single day of glory days.

The strength of the sect in the past, the decline now, and the teacher who had just entered the door of life and death flashed in Yun Yun's mind one by one.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of the death of her teacher that Yun Yun was too hard to deal with, so she told a child who had just turned seven years old that she couldn't even figure out her philosophy of life.

The two men, silent, walked, and came to a palace.

Looking at the familiar palace in front of her, Yun Yun stopped and broke the silence: "Your senior uncle was also a lucky person, but her luck ended too early. ”

Looking at the palace in front of him, Xiao Yan asked, "Uncle Shi, do you live here?" ”

"Hmm", Yun Yun replied: "Her name is Yun Yao, and like you, she entered the sect at the age of seven. ”

"It's just that, as I just said, her luck ended too early...... "Yun Yun recalled the past and said, "At that time, the alchemists of the sect were a little overwhelmed. After she entered, she worshipped the only alchemist elder in the sect at that time, but within a few years, that elder passed away. ”

"Without the teacher's teaching, it's okay to say that the cultivation of Douqi is good, after all, there is still your ancestor, but the alchemy can only rely on herself."

"However, even if you only rely on the pills inherited from the sect and some experience in refining medicine, your uncle still refined the four-grade pills before the age of thirty."

You must know that alchemy, if there is no personal teaching from the teacher, even if there are some inheritances left by alchemists, the difficulty is not ordinary. Without a teacher to teach you by hand, who knows what those things in the inheritance mean exactly, you say that the heat should be bigger, but how big is it? There are also various alchemy techniques, no one will show you or point out your mistakes, you can only rely on your own trial and error. In doing so, a lot of time is bound to be wasted.

You must know that even Danwang Guhe, with a teacher like the president of the Alchemist Guild, was nearly thirty years old when he became a fourth-grade alchemist. It was already a miracle that Yun Yao was able to refine the four-grade pill before the age of thirty without the guidance of a teacher.

Speaking of this, Yun Yun's mind gradually recalled that stubborn girl.

"Senior sister, believe me, even if I don't have a teacher to teach me, just on my own, I will definitely become the most powerful alchemist in the history of the entire Yunlan Sect!"
