"Well, no more nonsense. Since there is not much time for the teacher to stay by your side now, you must also work harder, and strive to at least break through to the level of [Yi Jin Realm] in just two months, so as not to let down your excellent talent. Li Ming also opened his mouth to urge, for a casual cultivator like himself with average talent and no resources, it took him at least a year or two to break through from Kaiyuan to the Yijin Realm, but his standard for Tianji Hong was shortened by nearly ten times.

"In terms of spiritual power cultivation, wait until the day after tomorrow to see if you can get some suitable breakthrough elixir from the auction, and then talk about it, today I will pass on a set of practical sword skills and martial arts to your teacher, and you are optimistic!"

After the three of them had a short meal and rest, Li Ming and Tianjihong settled the young Tianjihong and came to the courtyard. The former also immediately fulfilled his previous promise, only to see that he couldn't help but pull out the treasure knife at his waist and swing it directly at a stubborn stone the size of a grinding disc in the courtyard. Under the operation of spiritual power, Tian Jihong only felt that in a blink of an eye, the uneven stone crack in front of him was actually cut into two ends from the center like a mirror cut, and between the broken ports, there was not a single small crack in the flat section.

This ability to cut stones is not a difficult thing for Tian Jihong, who is now cultivating in the Kaiyuan Realm, and he can easily break stones and break gold with his fist. What really amazed him was that under the display of Li Ming's martial arts, which should have been very easy to collapse under the impact of external forces, and even directly turned into powder, they could be so completely controlled by spiritual power and split into two sections from the center, but there was no sign of other spiritual power raging.

"You have also seen it, this is the so-called Yellow Rank Middle-grade Martial Technique [Splitting Stone Slash]." Li Ming said leisurely, the coherent knife retraction action in his right hand looked extremely elegant, "I see that you did have a bit of a way to use the knife technique in the previous battle, and I can see that you must have been instructed and trained all kinds of basic weapons when you were young, and I think you have also worked the use of this heavy knife, right?" ”

Tian Jihong nodded silently in agreement, and couldn't help but recall in his mind that his father strictly instructed his own drills every day. According to my father's arrangement, I also started with the most basic sword swinging training, practicing chopping rotten wood and stubborn stones for several hours every day, and then began to learn the most basic concept of knife technique step by step, and then slowly connected each movement to form a smooth movement, so as to show real combat effectiveness. It can be said that without considering the martial arts used by spiritual power, at the mortal level, Tianjihong's use of heavy swords has reached the point of perfection.

Seeing this, Li Ming also nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, for the sake of your solid basic skills, I will skip the foundation of the previous sword technique and start to guide you directly from the level of martial arts." ”

"Now that you have cultivated your soul sense, you must be able to see some clues from the Split Stone Slash you just performed for your teacher, tell me what you have discovered?" Li Ming didn't explain directly, but asked first.

Tian Jihong couldn't help but think back to the half-hanging flame breaking slash he had performed in today's battle with the Dark Abyss Jiao, and replied after thinking for a while: "I think that the core of martial arts should not only be the casting of moves, but more importantly, the control of spiritual power. This is the fundamental difference between martial arts and traditional mortal martial arts, and only when one's own spiritual power can be operated to 100% of its effectiveness in the display of martial arts, can it be regarded as mastering a real martial art. I wonder if it's okay for the disciples to understand it this way? ”

"Well, that's good! You are really talented, and you have realized the core of martial arts so quickly. Li Ming couldn't help but open his mouth and praise his clever apprentice, "What you said can be regarded as roughly grasping the essence of martial arts. ”

"In the eyes of the Master and many higher-level cultivators, even a yellow-level martial art like it is today can also be subdivided into several levels according to the level of mastery. Many monks feel that as long as they practice according to the martial arts they have copied from books or other means, they can perform their moves and be able to comprehend a martial art. In fact, this is only the most superficial study of martial arts, and it is far from reaching the level of exerting the true power of martial arts. ”

"In the view of the teacher, a martial art can be roughly divided into six levels: initial knowledge, similarity, coherence, freedom, integration, and detachment. For example, if you imitate the half-bucket water martial art performed by the mountain bandit before, without knowing the operation of its complete moves, it can only reach the same level at most, so even if you can achieve the operation of spiritual power in your own way, you can generally only exert less than 20% of the power of the martial art. Li Ming continued to explain.

"And as I said earlier, mastering the moves according to books or other means is just completing the practice of coherence to the level of freedom. Only according to what you can see, combining the spiritual power and soul consciousness between your own exercises and fighting souls with the martial arts in your hands to a seamless level, can you achieve the power of the spiritual power or soul consciousness consumed at will, and then you can reach the fifth level of integration. ”

"What about the transcendent level that Master just mentioned?" Tian Jihong couldn't help but ask.

"The so-called detachment can only be achieved by people who have been immersed in a certain martial art for at least ten or even decades." For this question, Li Ming's face was a little more serious, "This kind of perseverance is often not something that ordinary people can have, generally speaking, this kind of martial arts that are enough to reach the level of mastery at the transcendent level can be called a monk's fame; When it is deployed, it can not only exert the power that transcends the level of the martial arts itself, but also fit the operation of its own exercises and body methods in actual combat, and achieve other more miraculous effects, which is enough to turn the tide of the battle. ”

However, it is not easy to master a famous mastery, and the cultivation of monks is often faced with the transition of the level of exercises and martial arts, such as some low-level martial arts are often not considered as a cultivation of natal mastery. It's like a young genius with your talent now, who can at least cultivate into a heroic hero in the future, how can you bear to stop at spending dozens of hours studying a yellow-level martial art as a famous skill in the future? It doesn't take long for you to naturally come into contact with higher-level martial arts, and you can start a new cultivation. Li Ming sighed.

"Therefore, the enlightenment of a peerless study is often something that only middle-aged people who have reached the bottleneck of their cultivation are considered. Unless it is a person who has had all kinds of adventures and has obtained a very high-level martial art at the beginning of his cultivation, he will choose to devote himself to studying a martial art as his own mastery at a young age. ”

"But you also understand that the difficulty of participating in the research of advanced martial arts is far beyond the comparison of such yellow-level martial arts, and it is obviously half the effort to cultivate such martial arts when the cultivation is still shallow. If you want to really master such a profound martial art, I'm afraid that decades will not be enough, and this is still without considering whether there will be a bottleneck in your own cultivation breakthrough. ”

"However, in this world, there are still a few chosen people who are blessed with luck and talent at the same time." Li Ming changed his words and said, "For example, for example, the so-called [Black Dragon Society] in the south, the martial arts inherited in its sect [Extreme Cold Ice Palm] can be called a peerless martial art, and it is the supreme martial art that everyone in the entire sect practices together, and the grade is enough to reach the advanced level of the ground level. ”

"However, such a martial art, its moves are not too mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, even if it is a disciple who has just entered the sect, he can start cultivating immediately. According to rumors, the power of the originator of the Black Dragon Society was also obtained by chance when he was young, and he coincidentally obtained a palm similar to this martial art at a young age, and he created such an amazing mastery at a young age. ”

"There is such a good thing, then isn't this so-called Black Dragon Society invincible at the same level in the martial arts world?!" Tian Jihong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, if according to what Li Ming said, his disciples could master a martial art comparable to the advanced level of the earth level even if they were in the Kaiyuan Realm, then wouldn't they be able to walk sideways among the monks of the same level on the mainland?

"Hehe, how can it be so simple!" Li Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "As I just said, although this Extremely Cold Ice Palm is extremely easy to comprehend in terms of moves, such a peerless skill that can be cultivated since childhood naturally has a price. This Black Dragon Society is a sect that pays attention to internal cultivation, don't look at this extremely cold ice palm known as the ground level, it sounds very powerful, but the subtlety of its moves is superficial compared to the stunts of other sects, and the reason why the Black Dragon Society is so powerful is because of its internal cultivation of a method called 'Cold Ice True Qi'. ”

"And only by cultivating this kind of cold qi to the highest level, with the so-called extremely cold ice palm, and penetrating into the opponent's body, can you exert the power of destroying the withering and decaying. But you also have to understand that according to what the teacher has heard, only when the disciples of the Black Dragon Society reach the title of elder can they be regarded as stepping into the threshold of this cold and icy true qi cultivation. As for the ordinary disciples who have cultivated to a lower level, even if they can have the spiritual power in their bodies to urge the extremely cold ice palm, their display is just a showcase, and at most they will reach a bottleneck when they cultivate to the level of freedom. Li Ming explained.

"Okay, that's all for gossip, let's focus on the cultivation of the [Splitting Stone Slash] in front of you. Now I'm going to slow down and demonstrate this technique in a coherent manner, and this time you'll have to see it clearly! ”

After that, under Li Ming's fingers, in the next hour, Tian Jihong gradually remembered the so-called Splitting Stone Slash Technique and a total of twelve transformation moves from all walks of life. According to the master, it took him three months to practice this martial art before he was able to perform the moves completely and smoothly. And its requirement for Tianjihong is to reach the so-called "coherent" level within a week.
