At this time, Li Yuan was standing on the flying sword controlled by Old Man Hong, facing the wind, and he was in a good mood.

"Master, may I ask, why did you choose me to be your closed disciple?" Li Yuan asked lightly.

Old man Hong didn't look back, while taking out a crimson wine gourd, he took a big sip of the head of the cow before he said leisurely: "Where is so much nonsense, old man, I just see you more pleasing to the eye, and your sword is also more in line with my inheritance, and others can't learn my sword duel." ”

"Sword duel?" Li Yuan muttered.

Old man Hong smiled faintly, and said a little strangely: "I saw you in front of the disciple's room that night, you have reached the realm of sword intent and qi, this realm is extremely rare in the way of the sword, especially if you have not yet come into contact with the magic sword, you can reach this realm, it is even more commendable." ”

"If I could reach your current realm with my mortal body back then, I'm afraid I would be able to go further on the path of the sword, and I wouldn't have stayed in the foundation building period for so long. Old man Hong sighed, a little lost, and then poured a large sip of wine into his mouth.

"What is that magic sword?" Li Yuan asked.

Old man Hong laughed, and said with a solemn expression: "The way of the sword is divided into two kinds: martial sword and magic sword, martial sword is to drive the sword by force, generally in the mortal world, has not yet come into contact with the cultivation of the truth, when there is no mana, all the martial swords are used, as for the magic sword, as the literal meaning, it is to use mana to perform swordsmanship, generally only the sword cultivation of the cultivation realm can use this means, but the two also have something in common, that is, the comprehension of the way of the sword, the two can complement each other." ”

Li Yuan nodded suddenly.

It didn't take long for Old Man Hong to land on a mountain peak not far from Longhu Mountain that looked like a giant sword reaching straight into the sky.

"This is the cave for the teacher, as long as the foundation building period is reached, every monk in the door can choose a mountain near Longhu Mountain, used to open up their own cave, this Jianmen Mountain is the territory of the teacher, 此️ there is a sword array on the mountain, without my consent, you will be killed by the sword array if you break in indiscriminately, there is a forbidden token here, if you want to enter the mountain in the future, you have to carry this token with you, otherwise you will also suffer from the accidental injury of the sword array. Old man Hong pointed to a cave not far in front of him that opened up on the mountainside and had two red wooden doors at the door, and then took out a token engraved with a flying sword from his bosom and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan glanced at a stone plaque hanging above the red lacquered wooden door, and the three words "Jianquan Cave" engraved on it all revealed the big characters of sharp sword intent between the lines, which was a little distracted.

"Well, these three words were engraved with a sword for the teacher, and they contain the understanding of the way of the sword for the teacher. Old man Hong followed Li Yuan's gaze and said a little proudly.

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and didn't answer, he sensed the sword intent, but the word master could write ......

"Let's go, let's go inside with the teacher. With that, Old Man Hong led Li Yuan into the cave.

As soon as he stepped into the cave mansion, Li Yuan felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and the interior of this cave mansion was like the difference between the thatched house and the Jinluan Palace.

Not only does the interior of this cave not feel dim at all, but because of these strange stones embedded in the stone walls, which glow with faint fluorescence, it looks like a dreamlike feeling, as if you are in a fairy tale world.

A few steps further, Li Yuan saw a hall in the center of the cave, in the middle of which was an irregular round stone table the size of a wellhead, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

In addition to the stone table, there are also some strange-looking potted plants and several pieces of furniture made of precious stones.

"The one on the left is the teacher's bedroom, the one in front is the place where you practice the Tao of Enlightenment, and the one on the right was originally intended to build an alchemy room, but the teacher is not good at the Dan Dao, so it has been shelved there, and now it can be changed and used as a guest room for you to live in. After taking Li Yuan to visit the cave mansion, Old Man Hong walked to the stone pier next to the stone table and sat down, took out the wine gourd again and drank it.

"Okay, you can stay here and cultivate for the next period of time, and when you have nothing to do, you can go to the bottom of the mountain to take care of the elixir field for the teacher, now let's talk about your cultivation first." Old man Hong stuffed the lid of the wine gourd and said seriously.

Li Yuan smiled and agreed, but then said, "Master, regarding the exercises, will I continue to choose to cultivate the Taishang Induction Chapter in the near future, or will I choose another exercise to start cultivating?"

"As long as the first wisp of spiritual energy enters the dantian, the physique will slowly change under the nourishment of the aura, I believe you have already felt it, and then you have to make a choice, refining the body or cultivating the Fa. Old man Hong asked.

"Has the physique changed?" After refining the aura in his body, Li Yuan did feel that his physique had changed significantly, although his body was still thin, his bones and muscles had been greatly improved, and if he was put back into the mortal realm, his speed and strength would be at least several times that of ordinary people.

"You can throw punches and try it. Old man Hong picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't have time to think about it, he punched out directly, and the stone was immediately knocked out with a "bang", and there was a faint fist mark printed on the stone.

"Do you want to refine the body or cultivate the Fa?" asked Old Man Hong again.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Is it okay for me to think about dual cultivation?"

Old man Hong was not surprised when he heard this, and then said: "The cultivation of our cultivators is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, no one can do everything in a limited lifespan, if you want watermelon and sesame seeds, in the end, it will often only delay your own cultivation, so if you want to reach the peak, you must cultivate single-mindedly." ”

"However, in the early stage of cultivation, in order to lay the foundation, ordinary monks often choose to major in mana, and then cultivate a little bit of the way of body training, and then give up refining the body after the physical body reaches a certain strength, so as to refine the mana, the advantage of this is that in the case of empty mana, with the physical body still has some self-preservation power, so as not to be killed by ordinary people, you also know that ordinary people can still threaten the early stage cultivators with hot weapons, but there is no case of a high-level monk being killed by mortals, this is the reason. Old man Hong said solemnly.

"Hmm. Li Yuan nodded, he had indeed heard about ordinary people using thermal weapons to kill early stage cultivators, not only that, he also knew that some mortals in the Quenching Body Realm could also do this.

"Therefore, the teacher suggests that you also practice the method of quenching the body in the early stage, of course, the cultivation of mana cannot be left behind. Old man Hong said slowly.

"Is that kind of body quenching method in the mortal world?" Li Yuan wondered, not that he looked down on the martial arts of the mortal world, but that he thought that kind of body quenching method would still be effective for himself today?

"Haha, that kind of body quenching method is naturally not suitable for our cultivators, our cultivators have their own method of quenching the body, that is, using aura to quench muscles and bones, so as to forge a pair of copper skin and iron bones, as for the body refining method, there are many in the Tibetan Gong Pavilion of our Heavenly Master's Mansion, you can choose any one, but in order to lay a better foundation for you, I suggest that you go to the Tibetan Gong Pavilion to exchange for a book called "Jinding Shengong" This exercise is not an ordinary body refining exercise, it is actually a metallic practice method, but the body quenching method attached to it is quite good. After the old man Hong touched the mustache, he said meaningfully.

"Is the Golden Tripod a miracle?" Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

"For the teacher, let's talk about why you choose this exercise, first of all, the method of quenching the body that comes with it is enough to make your physical body cultivate to the strength of copper skin and iron bones, and it is still a quick method, which will not delay you too much time, in addition, this exercise is a metallic exercise that can be used for you to cultivate to the Jindan period, so you don't have to change other exercises to practice in a short period of time in the future, third, if you choose to become a sword cultivator like a teacher, then the metallic exercise known for its sharpness is definitely your first choice, and you will practice as a teacher in the future"Mo Whisker Sword Duel", there is also a certain power bonus, as for the Jindan period, you can also renovate another town gate master's master's mansion with the same name as the "Five Thunder Righteous Law" "Golden Light Mantra". Old man Hong explained to Li Yuan while the old god was there.

"Of course, the rubbing of "Golden Ding Divine Skill" can only be exchanged for the contribution of the master in the Tibetan Gong Pavilion, and you will definitely not be able to take it out with your current situation. Old man Hong looked at Li Yuan with a treacherous expression, and his intention to extort bamboo was already quite obvious.

"Master has something to say. Li Yuan said very calmly.

Old man Hong smiled and said: "As a teacher, I can exchange it for you first, but this teacher's contribution is not easy to come by, because the teacher wants to teach you to cultivate, so I don't have time to complete the teacher's task, therefore, this year's wine for the teacher, you have to cover it all, and the elixir field under the mountain must also help me take care of it, how about it?"

"Then I'd better choose another free book to practice. Li Yuan didn't eat this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Old Man Hong stop him.

"Oh, if you really go to practice those garbage exercises, your future will be ruined, so let's not use you to make wine for the teacher for a year, just once, you just need to fill the wine gourd for the teacher, of course, you can't run away from Lingtian, otherwise you should ask for another master." Seeing that Li Yuan was leaving, Old Man Hong immediately lowered his conditions and said.

"Deal. Li Yuan looked back with a smile.
