Li Ming couldn't help but smile at Tian Jihong, and then said, "Theoretically, it's true. The value of such a mutated fruit wrapped in the sap of rat scale grass may not be as valuable to the monk as ordinary earth demon fruit, and the scales on its periphery restrict the growth of evil qi and life breath inside the fruit, and even if it takes effort to scrape off the scales wrapped around the periphery, the fruit inside does not grow and mature. ”

"But..."Li Ming smiled here and deliberately lengthened his tone, obviously waiting for Tian Jihong to answer.

"But what? Master, do you mean anything else? Tian Jihong suddenly understood what Li Ming meant, and when he saw that things had taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly asked urgently.

"Hehe, you kid might as well transfer this spiritual fruit to me, since this thing is not suitable for direct use in cultivation breakthroughs, but the spiritual energy contained in it is genuine, and it is a pity to waste it. Now that you have just started to practice, you are worried that your teacher can't find a suitable elixir to explain the absorption of spiritual energy to you, and it is not a bad idea to use this abandoned earth evil fruit as a practice. What do you think? ”

In fact, as soon as Li Ming saw this spirit fruit just now, he had already made this plan in his heart. For beginners like Tian Jihong, learning the absorption of aura between heaven and earth is a necessary course; However, if you use high-grade elixir for hand training, it is too wasteful, not to mention, the aura released by such materials is too thick, and it is difficult for Tianjihong to absorb it at all. Therefore, this time, Li Ming asked Tianjihong to enter the mountain to find the Yellow Rank materials, which originally had this meaning, and he intended to use it for the cultivation of Tianjihong's entry; However, there were many impurities contained in the Yellow Rank Elixir, and if you wanted to absorb the spiritual energy in it, you would inevitably need to go through some tempering, which would require Li Ming to spend a lot of extra effort. At this time, such a high-quality Xuanjie Earth Devil Fruit with an unripe internal fruit naturally became a better choice.

Hearing this, Tianjihong smiled with satisfaction again. Hearing that the spirit fruit that he had worked so hard to regain for a long time could still have an effect on his cultivation, he could at least accept it in his heart. At this time, Tian Jihong hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, and tentatively asked Li Ming this sentence that he had been holding back for a long time: "Master, you see that this apprentice's entry into the mountains can be regarded as dangerous, and he has encountered many life and death crises. I know that you said before that you will not teach the apprentice cultivation method until I pass the assessment, but this time the apprentices also felt a lot, and in many actual battles, they clearly felt that their own strength was limited due to their lack of strength. ”

"The apprentice is here to implore Master, can you teach me the method of absorbing spiritual power first, so that I can have a skill first, so that I will not be powerless when I encounter a real spirit beast. In the future, we will do our best to complete the assessment and will not disappoint your expectations. As for the apprentices who learn martial arts, they don't dare to ask for extravagance, but after passing the assessment in the future, the master will teach me, which is not a violation of the rules you set before, I don't know what the master thinks? ”

Hearing this, if it were anyone else before, Li Ming would definitely refuse without hesitation. In his opinion, just after entering the path of cultivation, the improvement of physical functions and the cultivation of spiritual power are equally important; Wanting to directly start absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in such an overnight attempt without laying a good physical foundation is really a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and it will do more harm than good to your future cultivation.

But looking at the kid in front of him, Li Ming couldn't help but fall into silence. He naturally understood that the apprentice in front of him and the mediocre talents who came into contact with him in the past who came to seek apprenticeship could not be generalized. The tempering that Tian Jihong's body has experienced since he was a child has already reached the standard of starting to cultivate spiritual power, and even his physical strength is enough to compete with ordinary [Body Refining Realm] cultivators. The reason why I didn't teach him the practice in the first place was that I didn't want him to be ambitious. After passing the assessment he had assigned and further polishing his mind, Li Ming would naturally immediately begin to give guidance on his spiritual power cultivation.

However, after hearing what Tianjihong had just said in Dongyun Mountain, Li Ming really began to treat this bold but talented apprentice differently, and at this time, if he wanted to say that he was not worried about the safety of the talented apprentice in front of him, it would definitely be a lie. After thinking about it like this, it is not a bad idea to urge this kid to start spiritual cultivation as soon as possible, so that he can have more self-preservation power. The cultivation of spiritual power pays attention to the long flow of water, the accumulation of time, the early start of learning can be the sooner you can become a talent, Li Ming saw that the apprentice pushed the boat down the river and happened to mention this matter again, so he decided to change his mind and continue his words.

"Well, for the teacher to think about it carefully, what you kid said also has some truth." Li Ming nodded after some thought, "The reason why the master didn't teach you these methods at the beginning is also because he wants you to experience the cruelty of the path of cultivation first, see the gap between yourself and the real spirit beast or monk, and have an accurate understanding of your own strength." ”

"This time, seeing that you took risks and successfully returned from Dongyun Mountain, it can be regarded as a lesson learned, so today before taking action at night, the teacher will explain this method of returning to the origin with you. From now on, after you master this technique, you can absorb the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth anytime and anywhere, and temper it in your body to generate spiritual power, and you can be regarded as a true cultivator! ”

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Master, for making it happen! "Tianjihong was overjoyed. From today onwards, I am going to truly step into the path of cultivation, which can be called a milestone moment in my life, and after that, I have come into contact with a new world, and the excitement in Tian Jihong's heart is even stronger than when he found a local level of exercises at home before.

"Alright, don't be too happy. It's not wrong to teach you the method, but you kid first have to promise Master two things: First, cultivation is about perseverance, and any breakthrough in realm or strength is by no means something that can be achieved overnight. From today until the time you leave the school, the teacher will also regularly check your cultivation progress, and if I see that you have a bad mind, cheating, cheating, and slipping, then I will immediately sweep you out of the house, do you understand? ”

"Got it! Please rest assured, Master, the disciples will definitely do their best in their cultivation, and they will never slack off! Looking at Li Ming, who was gradually becoming serious at this time, Tian Jihong also replied so firmly.

"Well, that's fine. I can see that you kid has a bit of perseverance, don't waste such a cultivation talent in you in the future. Looking at the eloquent Tianjihong, Li Ming understood that this kid had listened to his words, and his solemn face soothed again. Of course, there is a second point, that is, what I have just told you, if it is not a last resort and violates your bottom line, no matter how much temptation or opportunity you have when you go out in the future, you must still put your life first. ”

"You must know that more than ninety percent of the cultivators who fall in the middle of their cultivation have lost their lives due to fighting and fighting, and only a very small number of people have died when they break through the realm because of the many shackles in their cultivation. Therefore, you must remember that you must not put yourself in a dangerous situation by being hot-headed for the sake of momentary interests or desires, and no matter how great the chance is, it is not more important than your own life. If nothing else, you kid has a younger brother to take care of, and distant parents who can't be found; If they die, their fate will be drawn into a deeper vortex because of it. So in the future, you have to be very careful in doing things, and you can't be as reckless as you are today, remember? Li Ming said bitterly.

"Well, the apprentice assures you that you will be more careful in doing things in the future, and this kind of thing will not happen again today, and you will never let the master worry about the apprentice again." Tianjihong naturally heard that Li Ming was out of concern for him and cherished his talents, so he educated himself like this.

"Okay, okay, if you can write it down after all that, let's get back to the point. Seeing that you kid can't wait, as a teacher, I will first teach you the exercises of this [body cultivation technique]. You can take this book and look at it first, and then Master will explain it to you in detail after dinner. Saying that, Li Ming finally took out a crumpled booklet from the package on the table and handed it to Tianjihong, on which the three big characters of "Health Cultivation Tips" were printed in the center of the cover.

With the experience of turning out the Shura mind method in the basement, Tian Jihong is not the first time he has come into contact with the secret book of the exercises, and his heart is not as shocked as the treasure at the beginning. But as the former of the earth-level exercises, at this time, it was no different from the Book of Heaven for Tianjihong, and it was still too early to use it for cultivation. At this time, the booklet that Li Ming handed to himself was relatively much more superficial, and Tian Jihong only had a thin dozen pages after briefly flipping through it, and it did not mention the requirements for cultivation, which was obviously specially used for beginners like him who had just begun to practice.

At this time, Tian Jihong, who had been tired all day, was already grumbling with hunger, but the excitement brought by getting a book of exercises suitable for his own cultivation made him have no intention of paying attention to these little things at all, and in the end, at Li Ming's insistent request, he decided to eat some food hastily. After sweeping away the food on the table like a whirlwind, Tian Jihong hurriedly pestered Li Ming and began to explain spiritual power cultivation.

The helpless Li Ming knew that he couldn't beat the rising Tianjihong, and after quickly using his soul sense to determine that the old seven outside the door had not fully woken up, seeing that there was still some time before the late-night action, Li Ming started his first lecture.
