Early the next morning, Hua Lanting came to Yufangzhai, where Tianji Feng held a brief and solemn apprenticeship ceremony for him.

Since then, he has had an official cultivator master, Yun Yiqi, the peak master of Tianji Peak in the Freedom Gate.

After the apprenticeship was completed, only Yun Yiqi, Hua Lanting and another disciple were left in the room.

Yun Yiqi opened his mouth and said: "Lan Ting, let me introduce to you, I have accepted a total of five disciples for the teacher so far, your senior brother is in retreat, the second senior brother is on a mission, and the third senior brother is out to practice, this is the fourth senior brother Shu Luntai." ”

Hualan Ting saluted. This fourth senior brother is dressed in white, his face is like a crown of jade, his demeanor is gentle, and he has a dusty temperament, which is easy to make people feel good.

Yun Yiqi continued: "The apprentices in this sect all have apprenticeship rituals, which are mostly offensive or defensive magic weapons. As a teacher, he values personal cultivation and doesn't want you to rely too much on the magic weapon made by outsiders, so I heard that you chose Dongming Peak as a minor, so I will give you a strange stone as a meeting gift. ”

"This stone is called Lotus Root Broken Thread, with good flexibility and ductility, but also rigidity, suitable for creating a defensive magic weapon, you can deal with it yourself in the future. ”

Hua Lanting thanked him and took it away, looking at Yun Yiqi's cold face, how could the unsmiling master give birth to a daughter like Yun Zhichun?

He was still feeling sorry for the thousand spirit stones, and was secretly slandering himself, Yun Yiqi saw that he was distracted, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Hua Lanting hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple is thinking that Senior Sister Yun and the master's personalities are not very similar." ”

Yun Yiqi's cold and hard face twitched a few times, and he smiled a little, shook his head and said, "Look at you, you look like you've been blackmailed by that girl, right? I can't help her, just stay away from her in the future. She has a famous saying, how do you say it?"

Shu Luntai next to him said: "Senior sister often says that the face is a thing outside the body, but you don't want it, and money is a necessary thing, so you can't help but don't want it." ”

Yun Yiqi covered his face with his hand: "Yes, that's it, it's all what I'm used to, but I really don't follow me, I follow her mother." ”

Hua Lanting felt that this new master was actually just cold-faced, and his heart was still quite easy-going.

"Since I have said this, Master will first extend it and teach you the first lesson when you come to my door, and you should remember that the best way to deal with blackmail is to resolutely fight back, and to deal with businessmen, the best negotiation is not to give in to interests, but to cancel the transaction. Got it?"

Hua Lanting bowed: "The disciple remembers." ”

Yun Yiqi nodded: "I know your cultivation well, but I don't know much about your martial arts and techniques. You do what you've learned, and you do it. After speaking, he took the two of them to the empty field outside.

Yun Yiqi said to Shu Luntai: "Lanting's kung fu is good, you can't be careless, let's start." ”

Hua Lanting took out the dragon head rope, knowing that Shu Luntai would not strike first, and said that the senior brother was offended, so he took the lead in attacking.

He knew that Yun Yiqi wanted to see his kung fu, so he didn't hide his secrets, but went all out.

Hualanting did its best to attack on time when Shuluntai was punctual. The two first fought with long-range techniques, and then turned to martial arts hand-to-hand combat, Hua Lanting used the footwork, body method, sword method, fist method, leg method and thunder method, as well as various hidden weapons and magic weapons in turn, and finally even used the scorpion tail needle in the dragon head Suo, but he couldn't help Shu Luntai.

Shu Luntai's speed is not very fast, and the strength is not great, but it seems to be able to perceive the opportunity, and the body is extremely flexible, often making all kinds of unbelievable postures of Hua Lan Ting, and can always make Hua Lan Ting's attack miss with a small but quick and timely shield and change, and when encountering a killing move, it can also be avoided in a dangerous way, giving Hua Lan Ting a powerful and awkward feeling.

In the end, Hualan Ting's tricks were exhausted and stopped.

Yun Yiqi asked Shu Luntai expressionlessly: "How is it, what do you think of Lan Ting's kung fu?"

Shu Luntai replied: "The little junior brother has a solid foundation, good skills, and a variety of martial arts, which is much stronger than when I started, if it weren't for the master you reminded me not to be careless, there are a few tricks that I really can't parry, congratulations to the master for receiving another good disciple." ”

Yun Yiqi groaned for a while, and said to Hua Lanting: "Your senior brother has said all the praises, let me talk about your shortcomings." ”

"The biggest drawback is the change. ”

"It can be seen that you should have studied Elder Zhou's four-character technique of attack and defense, and strive for a change in rhythm and direction when making moves, but between the changes in moves, you are still stiff, and you are forcing changes for the sake of change. ”

"Luntai doesn't know all your moves, but the momentary delay caused by this bluntness gives him time to react. ”

"You already know that weapons and spells are extensions of the body, and you make good use of this, but you don't understand the fulcrum and technique of power. Attacking with both legs and hands with both arms and weapon spells is just the norm, which limits your variation. ”

"If you look at the wheel, all parts of the body can be used as a focus point, so that you can make all kinds of parrying and evasive actions, and the transition can be natural, and there is no need for unnecessary adjustment actions. ”

"Mu Qiwei has laid a solid foundation for you, but it is not solid enough. You have a lot of martial arts, you are familiar with the routines, and you have begun to pursue the connection between the moves within the various routines, but this is a bit of a rush. ”

"Originally, I wanted to pass on to you the Nine Turns Great Returning Dan Technique, so that you can start cultivating the Thunder Attribute Inner Dan. Now it seems that you need to re-strengthen the foundation first. ”

"Well, for the next period of time, you work on the routine first. ”

Hua Lanting asked, "Am I too routine?"

Yun Yiqi said: "Wrong! It's not that it's too routine, but it's not enough routine. ”

Seeing that Hua Lanting didn't understand, Yun Yiqi explained:

"Meditation is in stages. You've learned a lot, but at this stage, you're doing it in reverse order. ”

"Usually the way for people to learn and practice is to learn first and then practice, but now you should practice first and then learn, and in the process of practice and practice, you should understand the essence of the knowledge points. ”

"Only when you focus on doing can you settle in one place and let go of others, and thus gain stability and strength. ”

"So the next thing you have to do is not to think, but to practice, to practice all the routines you know over and over again, without thinking about why. Practice makes perfect, and skill makes perfect, you first practice the routine to the extreme, and then turn it into an instinctive reaction, and you can do it casually according to the situation without using your brain. ”

"This is a decomposition action, such as classmate chess, after knowing the rules of the move, you must practice one step to kill two moves, and don't think about how it evolved to a killable situation. ”

"When this step is complete, I will teach you the mix of moves and the transition between them, and the requirement at that time will be to try to forget about the specific moves. ”

"For example, there may be dozens of stabbing moves in your martial arts, and when you imprint these deeply in your mind, if you know how to convert your strength, you can naturally use the most suitable move when you need to stab continuously, instead of waiting for the previous blow to be used and then thinking about how to turn it into the starting hand of the next move before you can issue a new blow. ”

"After you enter Dongming Peak, practice for the first twenty days of each month, practice martial arts during the day, practice exercises at night, and go to Dongming Peak to learn refining weapons in the last ten days. ”

"During this time, you practice by yourself, usually I ask Luntai to guide you, and I come to check the progress once a month before deciding on the next step. ”

"Remember, don't rush it because it's boring. Thick accumulation can be thin, and the thinness here is not the meaning of less and weak, but the rapid spraying of thin. ”

"Cultivation is like reading a book, emphasizing stages and gradually. Even the great Confucian Confucius did not advocate reading a lot of books when he did the following. ”

"He said - disciples, if you enter, you will be filial, and when you go out, you will be cautious and faithful, and you will love all people, and you will be kind. If you have spare energy, you will learn the text. ”

It means that at home, learn from the example of your parents and relatives, learn from your good big brother friends when you go out, do things in a down-to-earth manner, start and finish, and then widely accept all kinds of people, especially those who are more virtuous. If you do all this well, you still have the kung fu to learn the knowledge of the classics. ”

"There is a lot of knowledge, just like the exercises and techniques of Tianji Peak and Tianquan Peak are recorded in hundreds of thousands, but the original intention of the door is to serve the improvement and improvement of the core exercises of the Daomen, and all the accumulation is to make small improvements to the Freedom Wuji Gong, Small Freedom Fist, Great Freedom Sword, etc., which have been tempered for thousands of years, in order to be closer to the Great Dao. ”

"Besides, each master has a different way of taking apprentices. In the teacher's view, teaching is what people can learn, but this is not the most important thing, the important thing is to let the apprentice have and discover what he wants and what he doesn't want, as well as the ability to learn lifelong learning. ”

"There is too much knowledge, and the speed of knowledge update and iteration will only get faster and faster in the future. You have to learn more than just methods, first of all, values, being responsible for yourself, making your own choices, deciding for yourself, taking responsibility for your own choices and decisions and bearing the consequences. ”

"The focus in the beginning stage is not what you have learned, whether you have learned well or not, but how you look at learning, how you have learned, and why you have learned. ”

"Learn to face up to your own desires, interests, and uniqueness, rather than getting lost in comparison and assimilation with others, so that you can master the ability to learn for life. ”

Hua Lanting asked: "How do you call yourself responsible?"

Yun Yiqi sighed: "While I made the decision to teach my disciples like this, I also realized that I might be making a mistake, and I had to bear risks, accusations, and consequences. But as far as I know, I'm not willing to go for other mainstream methods of indoctrination in order to be relatively unrequited. ”

"Compared with the excellent knowledge mastery, I hope you are more generous - dare to express, have the courage to fight, and be willing to accept challenges and bear the consequences for this, which has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge and skills, but a kind of courage and courage, which is the most vital and tense thing in the personality. ”

"Master leads the way in, and cultivation depends on the individual. I hope that when you realize this, the first person responsible becomes you, and you choose what you want. ”

"Of course, before that, as a new outer disciple, you have to listen to me and execute it without compromise. ”

In the months that followed, Hua Lanting not only did not discount, but instead increased his own hard practice of martial arts and techniques, and at night and night, he relied on the magical cultivation of the stinging dragon sleeping pill gong and the Ziwei Star Dou Guan Heavenly Technique.

With the advantage of being more than others and also practicing in his sleep, his cultivation slowly but surely improved, and the color of Neidan continued to deepen, and various moves became more and more proficient.

On this day, he received a notice from Dong Mingfeng that he would participate in the refining evaluation early the next morning.
