"Dumb grandpa, how can you ......" Lin Yuan stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Hehe, I could have spoken. The dumb man looked at him with a smile on his face.

"In the days we've been together, I've never seen you say a word, and everyone calls you dumb. ”

"Spiritual cultivation is originally dedicated to the Tao, without desire or desire, and there is also a reason why the patriarch placed the sect in the deep mountains. However, the escape from the world is still in the world, the temptation of dust is everywhere, although hidden in the mountains and wilderness, still trapped by mundane things, it is better to do a family affair, national affairs, world affairs, and a dumb person who does not care about everything is pure. ”

"If you don't speak for a long time, you will be able to hold back the problem, how can a normal person endure it?" Lin Yuan muttered in a low voice.

"You won't understand. The dumb man shook his head, his eyes empty.

Lin Yuan saw that he didn't want to mention more, so he obediently stood aside and began to sort out the ingredients.

Less.

"Why did those teenagers bully you?"

"The leader had a ...... with me at the freshman selection conference" Lin Yuan organized the language, starting with how to grudge with Zhang Shunxin, to accidentally offending Hu Mingyao and then to finding a way to change Huang Dan's master Juling Dan, and finally was framed by Zhang Shunxin and told it completely to the dumb uncle, without adding the slightest oil and vinegar.

"I want to give this thousand-year-old wild ginseng to my grandfather, the province has always been remembered, anyway, it's useless for me to keep it. ”

"He's right, I'm just a poor worm who relies on relationships to enter the door, how can it be like someone with a good life, casually he is a medium-talented, and he can catch up with the master of the innate realm. Lin Yuan looked lonely, adolescence is the stage of building self-confidence, but he was hit by reality.

"There is such a despicable villain in the sect, I said a long time ago that the acceptance of disciples must be strictly controlled, compared to talent, character is more important. Alas, keep this thing for yourself, I don't need it. ”

“？!”

How does this sound domineering?

Lin Yuan's heart moved, maybe he underestimated him, this dumb Bomo is not a hidden sect boss?

At this thought, he knelt on the ground without hesitation, knocked down his head three times when the dumb man was caught off guard, and roared with all his strength: "The kid is brave, I want to worship you as a teacher." ”

"Worship me as a teacher?" the dumb man frowned, "I just said that I don't want to pay attention to mundane things, right?"

"The boy entered the sect at the age of seven, and he was a miscellaneous servant when he entered the sect, suffered humiliation, and never complained, grandpa said, spiritual cultivation can not only look at talent, but more importantly, the heart, I think I am good and pure. Moreover, today, my grandfather has broken my vows by helping me, and the boy begged my grandfather to show mercy and accept me as an apprentice. After that, he buckled the ground three more times, and because of the excessive force, bright red blood gradually oozed from his forehead.

His fists were clenched, his thin body couldn't stop shaking, I don't know if he was nervous or excited, he really didn't want to be in a mess anymore, doing the same thing every day, there was no point.

He was envious, he was jealous, and he would even fantasize about how good it would be if Sister Huayu's best talent became his own, although it was immoral.

He hates, hates himself for being useless, and will be forced to a dead end by Zhang Shunxin and others.

Even if he succeeded in changing to the Gathering Spirit Pill and giving it to Hu Mingyao, would he really teach himself sincerely? Even if he taught sincerely, what kind of height would his future strength reach?

The word confused can completely sum up his current state of life.

"Stand up. ”

"I ......"

I said, stand up. The dumb man looked complicated and emphasized.

"Yes. Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, got up, but did not rush to deal with the wound on his forehead, the action just now was both a true expression of his feelings and a bitter trick, and even when Zhang Shun wanted to capture himself before, he did not resist, and deliberately showed a weak appearance, that is, he was betting that the dumb man would be mad, fortunately, the bet was right, otherwise he could only be manipulated by others when he was choked by the throat.

"What's your dream?"

"Dreams?"

At the beginning of his life, he did nothing, he had no worries about food and clothing when he was a child, he lived in the palace, and he played every day except for exercise. Joined the sect at the age of seven, became a low-level handyman, suffered a lot of hardships, just wanted to eat and rest early to sleep every day, mixed day is a day, can't see the future, naturally there is not much planning.

"What is a dream?" Lin Yuan raised his head, his eyes clear, "When the kid was in his hometown, he saw the farmer plowing under the scorching sun, sweating profusely. At noon, his wife and children brought food, and the three of them sat on the ridge to eat together. It may be his dream to go from starvation to hunger, and the farmer desperately ploughs the land to earn a good harvest and buy some fish and meat to improve his family's food. ”

"In order to protect his family and defend the country, he joined the army, trained for thousands of days, and fought on the battlefield. It was never what he wanted to die in battle, and every soldier wanted to be a general and glorify his ancestors. ”

"The scholar has been studying hard for more than ten years, hanging beams and piercing strands, chiseling walls and stealing light, for what? ”

"Everyone's dreams are different, big and small, and each has its own unique meaning, and they cannot be denied. And my dream is very simple, to succeed in my studies and live up to my family's expectations. ”

"Confused, spiritual cultivation is like a hundred battles, it is against the sky, the only heart is the way to break through the shackles, to the next level, how much can you achieve by working hard for others like you? The dumb man said solemnly.

"Understood. Although he was trained, Lin Yuan was very happy, listening to this tone, things seemed to be showing signs!

"You say that you have achieved success in learning, but what kind of situation is considered 'success'?" asked the dumb man again.

"The kid has a humble identity and shallow knowledge, and he has only heard one senior brother slightly mention the six realms of Tuomai, Acquired, Congenital, Soul Building, Earth Immortal, and Void. The kid is clumsy, I don't know if there is any hope for innateness?"

"Innate?" the dumb man repeated, unable to see any attitude.

"The kid knows his mistakes, the kid shouldn't be whimsical, the day after tomorrow, the acquired realm is enough. Lin Yuan thought that the dumb man was angry, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"The innate realm is not enough, and there is also the Qi Sea realm above the void, and there are seven great realms in the spiritual cultivation path. And as my disciple, the future soul building is guaranteed. ”

???

"Soul building? Oh my God, even if you have confidence in you, I don't have confidence in myself. ”

Lin Yuan thought that he had misheard, and he wanted to tell the dumb man loudly that he was not qualified for talent, but found that the dumb man was staring at him seriously.

"Do you have faith?"

"Well, have faith. ”

"Be louder!"

"Have faith!"

"Very well, that's what it sounds like. Huh? You seem to have something to say?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm talented...... Unqualified. Lin Yuan said worriedly.

"There are quite a lot of cultivation systems, there are imperial weapons, there are refining bodies, and there are also desires and evil sects, but they are all the same, and the cultivation is aura. The Fire Rock Sect exercises all belong to the fire system, and the selection conference only tests your compatibility with the fire, and does not represent the qualifications of spiritual cultivation, so you don't have to worry too much. However, after all, you are a disciple of the Fire Rock Sect, and I am a member of the sect, so it is a bit inappropriate to teach you the side exercises. In this way, I will test it for you again, and it is really not possible to take some fire elixir to make up for it. The dumb man reassured, not surprised.

"Master Xie. Lin Yuan said happily.

"Hey, don't worry, I haven't said I will accept you yet. The dumb man feigned anger and took out a palm-sized ink-colored stone tablet, "Press your hand up." ”

"Yes. Lin Yuan did so, but there was no movement in the stone tablet.

"Is that still the case? "It's the same as four years ago, even if I was prepared, I still felt a sense of loss in my heart.

"Do you know why you judge your talent by the color of the light emitted by the stone tablet?" the dumb man silently put away the stone tablet and asked suddenly.

"I don't know, please explain the master. Lin Yuan resolutely did not change his words, and he relied on it.

The dumb man couldn't cry and laughed, shook his head and said: "You have to understand that flames also have different temperatures, ranging from hundreds to thousands or even more than 10,000 degrees. Their colors can be roughly divided into dark red, dark red, orange, and gold, corresponding to the low, medium, high, and special grades of fire talents, respectively. The higher the temperature, the lighter the color, and the better the talent represented. ”

"I see. The lighter the color, the better the talent, will it be so light that it is colorless......"

"Of course, since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible, and legend has it that what can compete with rootless water is colorless fire, and the flame can become a colorless realm when it reaches 10,000 degrees, but unfortunately no one has ever reached it. "The dumb man didn't think much about it, the legend is just a legend, "Dreams are never the same as delusions, you must be down-to-earth, since you want to become stronger, you must have a strong heart." In this way, I will set a small goal for you, and within a year, we will be ranked first on the fire list, and at that time, we will be able to commensurate ourselves with master and apprentice. ”

"Huh?"

In order to encourage disciples to practice, the Fire Rock Sect has set up three lists: Fire, Yan, and Yan, which respectively include the top 100 school-age disciples in the three realms of Tuomai, Acquired and Ingenital.

Among them, the Yan List and the Yan List are only changed once every four years, while the Fire List competition is a routine once a year, after all, the most changes are made in the early stage of spiritual cultivation.

Like Zhang Shunxin's brother Zhang Shunyi, who has followed Xu Hua since he was a child, and has been practicing for nearly ten years, he is only ranked ninth on the fire list, and the dumb uncle actually let himself compete for the first place?

"Don't tease me, old man, who is on the fire list is not the one who has developed eight or nine spiritual veins, and I haven't even succeeded in developing one!"

"I'm not kidding. In the world, it is said that there is a saying that the two veins of Rendu are cultivated and the martial arts are refined, and there are similar methods in spiritual cultivation, I can help you open up all the spiritual veins, you only need to gather full spiritual energy, and save a lot of penance. The dumb man smiled.

"Get it all through at once?" Lin Yuan was shocked.

Expanding the Pulse is of course the most difficult way to open up the spiritual vein, ordinary outer disciples like Liu Ji and they are all measured in years, even if it is a genius with good qualifications, it often takes a few months.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, that method requires a lot of physical strength, at least to the point of achieving a small success in refining the body, otherwise you won't be able to bear the pain of forcibly opening the pulse. ”

"I don't care how you cultivated before, from now on, I will assign you new physical training to strengthen your physical fitness. ”

"In this way, I will teach you some simple spiritual methods first, go back tonight and have a good rest, and start the formal practice tomorrow. ”
