Chapter 196: An Unexpected Companion
"Yes, being able to master the first three changes of this Split Stone Slash in just one hour shows that your kid is indeed learning with good intentions." Half an hour later, when Jihong skillfully performed the first three moves of the so-called Splitting Stone Slash in front of Li Ming, the latter also nodded with satisfaction. Tian Jihong, who has a solid foundation of martial arts and cultivation, can be said to be a natural result for the practice of this splitting stone slash, although the moves are still a little jerky, but only the first three moves can be used to make a tiger and a tiger, and the power is not inferior to the physical skills performed after he ran the exercises and fighting souls with all his strength before.
Tian Jihong is also quite satisfied with the power of this Split Stone Slash, although in terms of the control of spiritual power, he is far from being able to cut stones like a mirror like his master, but according to what Master said, as long as he cultivates diligently, but with the appropriate exercises and cultivation materials, it is only a matter of time before he can fully master this Split Stone Slash that is only a mid-grade Yellow Rank.
"Okay, let's practice here today and rest early, and tomorrow there will be a full day to consolidate what we have learned today. You have to remember that the martial arts themselves are not difficult to practice, but the determination and perseverance to persist in cultivating yourself, in the future, in addition to exhaling spiritual energy at night to improve your cultivation, you must practice this Split Stone Slash diligently when you are free in the daytime. After you have cultivated this martial art to a coherent level, the teacher will pass it on to you to a higher level of martial arts. Li Ming repeatedly admonished.
After a night of practice, Tian Jihong finally had enough time to settle what he had learned in today's several life-and-death struggles. Now, according to his own calculations, before he has mastered a skilled martial art, his combat power is quite reluctant to deal with an ordinary level of Yijin Realm masters, but when he encounters a monk or soul beast with the strength of the real Bone Forging Realm, I am afraid that there is no solution for a while.
Now that he has officially stepped into the Kaiyuan Realm of cultivation, Li Ming has also explained in detail the division of the cultivation realm. According to what he said, if the Kaiyuan Realm is the starting point of spiritual power cultivation, then the Yi Jin Realm is the initial stage of the development of the human body's meridians and martial arts.
However, since then, at the level of the Bone Forging Realm, the focus of cultivation has changed again. The so-called bone forging and recondensation requires the monk to truly integrate the cultivation of the martial veins with the cultivation of spiritual power, and it takes a great deal of effort to rebuild and adjust the various meridians that have been opened up, so as to fit the operation and condensation of their own spiritual power and soul power to a greater extent.
And this is also a threshold that is difficult for casual cultivators with mediocre talents or insufficient cultivation resources to cross in their lifetime. In fact, with the accumulation and precipitation of time, even the most superficial cultivation of the Yellow Rank Exercises is enough for a cultivator to reach the height of the Yijin Realm in a few decades; However, after reaching the threshold of the Bone Forging Realm, many casual cultivators have no clue how to cooperate with the operation of spiritual power to channel the meridians, so they go astray and bury the possibility of further cultivation, and they are stuck in this realm for the rest of their lives, and it is difficult to improve again.
However, this so-called Bone Forging Realm meridian reset is also extremely impressive for the improvement of combat power, in fact, just as the previous Tian Jihong encountered a group of Bone Forging Realm masters, a monk of this level can barely be called a good hand on the mainland, enough to serve as the leader of an ordinary caravan, or a deacon in a small sect.
And a qualified Bone Forging Realm cultivator who can successfully rebuild his meridians to cooperate with the operation of spiritual power will not only get a qualitative change in the strength of his physical body, but also greatly improve his mastery of spiritual power, and his mastery of martial arts can also be accelerated a lot. In addition, in actual combat, it can also achieve real spiritual power to protect the body, and even stay in the air for a short time with the body method, which can be said to have a geographical advantage when facing the enemy.
Therefore, for a monk at the level of the Forging Bone Realm, unless it was a soul consciousness advantage that far surpassed the same level like the previous Roxagonal Field, and combined with the supreme treasure left by the family, it would normally be difficult for a Kaiyuan Realm monk like Tianjihong to compete with him head-on. However, Tianjihong was not discouraged by this, he had only started to practice for a few days, and now with many magic weapons in hand, he was able to kill the spirit beasts of the Yijin Realm to the extent that it was already terrifying, and the days of cultivation in the future were still very long, and he only needed to stick to his heart and be down-to-earth.
In the early morning, Li Ming, who had left words after instructing Tianjihong to practice, once again disappeared outside the hut unnoticed. Tian Jihong knew that now that the deadline was approaching, the master's sense of urgency to retrieve the knowledge in his bag was also stronger, and it was not strange that he would say goodbye to him, he only hoped that the master could gain something today, at least come back and go with him before tomorrow's auction.
Tianjihong, who has been tired of running around in recent days, has also settled down a lot on the last day on the eve of this auction. Although he still had some unresolved matters in his heart, such as the mysterious figure who disappeared at the door of the house before, and whether Wang Hong would really run to find the trouble of that Qianbiao in a moment, and the sudden appearance of the owner of the Zhu Qing Pavilion, etc., all indicate that in this troubled world, even Donglin Village, which is now in a remote corner, has begun to become unpeaceful.
It's just that now the situation is not clear, and it is not the time to think about this, Tianjihong has not even set foot in the village all day, and he accompanies his younger brother all day long in the house to study the cracked stone chop taught by Li Ming yesterday. During this period, only Uncle Sheng and a few other familiar faces in the village came to thank Li Ming, who solved the problem of the Dark Abyss Jiao, in the name of the village chief of Huai, but it was a pity that everyone who pounced on the air had no choice but to go back after Tianjihong's gentle words of thanks. However, when the latter opened his mouth to ask why the head of Huai Village did not come in person, Uncle Sheng and others said that the latter had been in the house all day long since yesterday to discuss important matters with the owner of the Zhu Pavilion, so they entrusted everyone to come on their behalf.
This can't help but arouse Tianjihong's curiosity again, what is it that would entangle the village chief Huai, who has always been worried about the disturbance of sea beasts a few days ago, and he didn't even have time to come to the door to thank him in person? It's just that everyone in the village is as confused as themselves, and they can't guess the mystery, so they have to give up.
In the evening, Tian Jihong finished the day with satisfaction. In just one day, he not only practiced the first three styles of last night's Splitting Stone Slash to the point where he was proficient, but also had a preliminary understanding of the more difficult next three moves, and his progress could be regarded as appalling.
Tian Jihong could even clearly feel that with the careful guidance of his master all night, he was now able to use the first six moves of the Splitting Stone Slash, which was only half of the progress of his cultivation, which was more than several times more powerful than he could achieve with only the basic sword technique before. If he is allowed to face yesterday's Bai Yanfeng now, he will not be overstretched, and he will not even be able to break through the opponent's defense.
It's just that before returning home, Ling Tianjihong felt a little regretful that he still couldn't wait for Li Ming's figure after a whole day, and it seemed that he would have to prepare to go to Dongsheng Town to attend the meeting without his master tomorrow. For such a chaotic place, Tianjihong has long heard that after the auctions are held in various places in Dongsheng Town, there are often cases of killing people and making goods or stumbling behind their backs, and now if he is such a helpless casual cultivator who buys something good in the meantime, I am afraid that he will become the first target of all kinds of gangsters and even sect forces in the first time, and he wants to bring the baby home I am afraid that he must be fully prepared.
The night passed without waiting for the trace of the master, Tian Jihong had no choice but to rush to the village with the dejected Tian Ji Fei, without the care of the master, Tian Ji Hong still had no choice but to leave his younger brother in the village to be taken care of by others. What surprised him was that when he passed by the house of the village chief of Nahuai, he learned that the latter had actually set off south with the master of the Nazhu Pavilion last night, and according to several Orion and Martial Arts Hall disciples around him, the two of them did not seem to be heading towards the most lively Dongsheng Town, but towards the Tianling Earth Realm.
The increasingly mysterious deeds of the two village chiefs couldn't help but arouse Tianjihong's great curiosity, but now he didn't have time to think about this, so after settling his younger brother, he hurriedly went to the agreed place to meet Lin Rong. But when he stepped into the entrance of the village, another familiar face made Detian Jihong secretly say something bad in his heart - he saw Lin Rong with a helpless face next to Wang Hong, who was actually standing in military uniform.
"What's going on...... this? Uncle Wang, why are you here? It was impossible for Tian Jihong to pretend not to see it, so he had to ask hard, although he had already guessed the result in his heart.
"Hmph, you two little guys, you secretly went to Dongsheng Town to participate in some auction meeting without telling the villagers!" That Wang Hong is still a commanding appearance, although his age is not much older than the two, but in front of these two people has always been an elder posture.
"Have you two forgotten what happened in the village in the past two days? I've been busy looking for your kid's whereabouts for the past few days, and I'm half tired of it, and as a result, you don't have a long memory at all! Let's not talk about whether that Qianbiao and the others will secretly do it again, just the so-called auction in Dongsheng Town, don't you two know the danger? If you are targeted by others, won't you end up in a different place? ”
"It's... I said that you should be too lenient, but I told my father about this trip and got his consent. Lin Rong couldn't help but interject and retorted, "Didn't you say that you have touched the threshold of the Yijin Realm in recent days, why don't you go to retreat and cultivate and stare at the two of us?" Besides, now that there is not much difference in the strength of the three of us, why is it your turn to come here to point fingers! Even if I admit that my strength is not as strong as yours, I'm afraid that you may not be as good as the little brother of the sky in a real fight! ”
"You! I really don't know the hearts of good people! I was worried about the safety of the two of you, so I came to kindly remind you, why did it taste bad in your mouth! Wang Hong also lost his temper, and reprimanded loudly, "Forget it, I really can't control the two of you if you don't know how to avoid trouble, but I must be responsible for the safety of the people in the village, and today I will reluctantly go with you, so that no one will keep an eye on you and I don't know what kind of chaos will be caused, and I won't even be able to find a place to collect the corpse!" ”
"Cut! After all, it's not that you want to join in the fun with us, pretending to be a good person..."Lin Rong also muttered in a low voice, fortunately, Wang Hong didn't pay attention to the latter's scolding, otherwise the two would have to quarrel again.
"Forget it, it's not too early now, since Uncle Wang wants to come with him, let's go together." Tian Jihong had already seen what Wang Hong meant, and seeing that there was not much time and could not continue to delay, he had to choose to compromise in the end.
