Li Zhiming's troubles finally came to an end on the fifth day.

On this day, he was called by the old man alone......

In fact, from the very beginning, Li Zhiming felt that this old man was very unusual. As it turned out, his instincts were not wrong at all.

As usual, today's Guan Lao was busy with the work in his hands, so he lay leisurely on a stone chair and squinted his eyes.

After Li Zhiming arrived, he just stood there and waited quietly, without making a sound.

Although he was silent, Guan Lao obviously didn't want Li Zhiming to wait too long, so when the time was right, he opened his eyes, looked at Li Zhiming with a smile, and said, "Little guy, you're quite patient." ”

Li Zhiming was speechless, but asked lightly: "Guan Lao, are you looking for me?"

Sitting up from the stone chair, Guan Lao looked at the well-behaved and calm little guy in front of him, his eyes showed a look of relief, and said: "Little guy, you are a very rare seedling, and after more than a month, you can officially enter the Zen Source Temple as a new disciple." Originally, the upper echelons of the temple intended to cultivate you directly as a holy source......"

Li Zhiming listened quietly, and did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation because of the three words of the Holy Source.

"It's just that the temple has made an exception to allow you to enter the temple at a young age, and over the years, there have been many talented demons in my Zen Source Temple, but in previous years, there were very few true Tianjiao who could overwhelm the other eight martial source holy mansions from that sage battle. Therefore, in order to be cultivated as a Holy Source, you have to go through at least two tests. Of course, don't complain about this, after all, every Saint Source will eventually indirectly affect who the next Lord of the Continent will be. Therefore, it is impossible to ......be careless" When he said these words, Guan Lao's words revealed a trace of helplessness, because in his opinion, this Li Zhiming could directly skip these cumbersome steps.

"Is the elder going to help me?" Li Zhiming was a wise man, and he knew that this Guan Elder would never call him just to tell him this.

Smiling, this Guan Lao did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "In terms of absorbing source energy, forcibly improving your strength will destroy your foundation, this method is the most inappropriate, and it can be directly discarded." ”

Li Zhiming nodded, expressing his great agreement, unless there are special circumstances, it is the most undesirable to use the method of pulling seedlings to promote growth.

"If you have other methods, some advanced cultivation paths, you won't be able to touch them for the time being. For now, there is only one depicting the source charm, which is the most suitable for you. "Guan Lao Dao, this is the method he has thought of a long time ago.

"Source Talisman?" Hearing these three words, Li Zhiming's eyes lit up, because he had actually heard of this Tao for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to contact this way, so he put his thoughts aside for the time being. Originally, he planned to seek advice from the elders who were proficient in this aspect after officially entering the Zen Source Temple, but he didn't expect that this time he hadn't even taken action himself, and someone would give him a "big gift". This made Li Zhiming cry and laugh and feel that such a thing as luck has always been unpredictable.

"With the same heaven and earth, all things are also, this source charm also has strong and weak points, grades, and the initial division is from one to nine grades, corresponding to the source energy realm source base nine forgings. Guan Lao said, with interest, a green, orange and purple lotus flower, which was less than the size of a palm, was easily created.

"This is the three-colored thunder lotus, come, try its power......" The Guan Lao said, and suddenly threw the thunder lotus in his hand towards the unprepared Li Zhiming. Li Zhiming was startled at first, but fortunately, he was also quick-eyed. Therefore, when the three-colored thunder lotus was about to hit him with a low thunderous roar, he decisively raised his hand and stood up, and suddenly five purple flames suddenly rose, and were slapped out by him with one palm, and the flames intertwined, forming an elliptical light seal, and then let the thunder lotus hit up, but it did not move......

"Boom!"

Seeing that he had blocked the three-color thunder lotus, Li Zhiming didn't have time to be happy, only to hear a light drink with a smile from the mouth of the Guan Lao on the opposite side, and in an instant, the thunder lotus that hit the oval light seal shattered with a click, and a golden beam of light burst out from it, with a terrifying strength crashing into the light seal.

"Boom!"

This impact directly smashed the elliptical light seal into pieces, and also made Li Zhiming hurriedly withdraw his hand and retreat from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Can you still play like this?"

The moment he stabilized his body, Li Zhiming was surprised. Obviously, Guan Lao's hand was really a bit unexpected by him. He had never seen such a dual-power attack before today.

"This three-colored thunder lotus is just a part of the power of this thunder lotus spell. If you can condense the Nine Colored Thunder Lotus, it will not be a problem to deal with the opponent of the Source Base Nine Forgings. Guan Lao smiled lightly, without the slightest exaggeration.

"Is it so powerful?" Li Zhiming said half-incredulously, he was not even an entry-level in the source charm, and he naturally had to maintain a skeptical attitude towards some things.

"If you don't try it, you'll know. Guan Lao squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Or don't be, if that nine-colored thunder lotus is really as powerful as you say, if you throw one over, I may hang ......up directly" Hurriedly waved his hand, knowing that Guan Lao was just joking, Li Zhiming laughed dryly, and then his attitude suddenly became extremely serious and said: "I don't know if I need conditions to learn this technique from the elders?"

Li Zhiming would not be naïve to think that the Guan Lao Association would teach him unconditionally for no reason.

"Conditions?" the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the old man smiled dryly: "If you don't dislike it, little guy, you can enter my door......"

"Do you want to be a teacher? It's an old traditional routine!" Hearing Guan Lao's request, Li Zhiming immediately hesitated, not because he thought that Guan Lao's status in the temple was too low, but because so far, his understanding of this Guan Lao was very little. Although on the surface, this Guan Lao was just an ordinary elder in the temple who did chores for the children of rich families, Li Zhiming always felt that the true identity of this old man was really unusual.

"If you don't want to, I won't force it, and this thunder lotus spell can still be passed on to you......" Li Zhiming's hesitation was seen by Guan Lao, but the latter just kept smiling, so that people couldn't see his true emotions.

"I didn't say I didn't want to!" After pondering for a while, Li Zhiming suddenly looked ahead, looked at Guan Lao, and without saying much, he seriously performed the nine-section apprenticeship ceremony......

"Disciple Li Zhiming, meet Master!"

"Hehe, it's effortless to deal with smart people, since you have this heart, then the old man will recognize you as a disciple. Get up......" Guan Lao said happily, and Li Zhiming could also detect that Guan Lao at this time was really happy, and it was a kind of heartfelt joy.

"Since you have entered my door, it is naturally impossible for you to be shabby as a teacher. With a smile and a groan, Guan Lao slowly spread out his right palm, and then a wisp of golden and copper-colored light rose against the storm, turning into an armor that was about the same height as Li Zhiming's life in an instant. The armor is engraved with many patterns, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"This is the Zen Source Battle Armor, and there is only one such body in the entire Zen Source Temple. The next moment the armor was summoned, Guan Lao introduced to Li Zhiming as if he was introducing some precious treasure.

Staring at the strangely shaped armor in front of him with a curious face, this time, Li Zhiming could no longer maintain the calm and calm he used to have, and couldn't help asking: "Master, I don't know what this thing does!"

Li Zhiming's reaction was completely different from before, so that Guan Lao was very satisfied, and he said at the moment: "All things in ancient times can restrain each other, and they can also be born together, this battle armor, with the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, catalyzes the source energy, so it gives birth to a force, which is called "five phases away from the source force"!"

With his palm lightly resting on the armor, Guan Lao continued: "These five phases are separated from the source power and gathered in the body of the battle armor, which can not only decompose the source energy of heaven and earth, but also fuse the source energy of heaven and earth. Eventually, it can make a difference......"

"What kind of effect?" Li Zhiming, who had already developed a strong interest in the battle armor, hurriedly asked.

"Offensive and defensive, the power can be multiplied, or even dozens of times, hundreds of times exponential ......"

"What?" Li Zhiming's eyes showed a look of horror and he lost his voice directly, how could he have thought that this battle armor would have such a powerful ability against the sky.

"There's no need to make such a fuss, if this thing doesn't defy the sky, the entire Zen Source Temple won't be the only one like this. However, with your current strength, at most you can only use it as a hole card to save your life. As for if you want to exert its power, you must at least have the strength to reach the source base after the five forgings. But even then, it will only give you two or three times the increase in strength. And if you want to increase the strength of more than ten times or even hundreds of times, you need more five-phase separation source power...... "As the original owner of the Zen Source Battle Armor, the advantages and disadvantages of the Battle Armor can be said to be clear to Guan Lao.

In this regard, Li Zhiming is certainly a little disappointed, but he is not the kind of person who is insatiable.

And right now, what he cares about the most is the five-phase separation source power in the mouth of the old man, according to the old man, the reason why the armor will have such power, the most important thing is that the five-phase separation source force is working, if there is no maintenance of that kind of power, the power of the Zen source armor will be greatly reduced, and it will not have the kind of anti-heaven ability described by the elder, so he asked: "I don't know how to obtain the five-phase separation source power?"

Sitting back on the stone chair, Guan Lao said: "That's simple, inside the battle armor, there is a special container, as long as the source energy is continuously poured into it, it will catalyze the source power of the five phases. ”

"It's so simple?" Li Zhiming was surprised again, he didn't expect that the way to obtain the source power of the five phases would be so easy.

"Of course not, after all, the source power of the five phases is the highest level of heaven and earth energy, and if you want to catalyze a drop, you need a lot of source energy. According to the most conservative estimate nowadays, if you want the Zen Source Battle Armor to double its strength, you need at least about forty drops of the Five Phases Separation Source Power. With your current strength, even if you don't eat or drink all day, and keep pouring the source energy into your body into your battle armor, you can only catalyze two or three drops. Guan Lao said with a smile, Li Zhiming, who had no clear concept of the difficulty of obtaining the source power of the five phases, really didn't know anything in his opinion.

"In terms of time, I have. Scratching his head, Li Zhiming pointed to the armor and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how I want to store this armor, you can't let me carry it back." ”

Guan Lao will feel extremely helpless, he, a beginner disciple, is really cheap and good, and he wants to take advantage of himself. But helplessly, who told him to put such a disciple on the stall, and immediately he flicked his fingers, and an inconspicuous square stone ring swept away towards Li Zhiming.

Stretching out his hand, he firmly grasped the stone ring into his palm, looking at the ordinary stone ring in front of him, Li Zhiming said with a smile: "Master, I don't know what grade this source ring is?" When the stone ring was taken out by Guan Lao, Li Zhiming already knew that it was a source ring, and the source ring was one of the utensils used by the source energy cultivators in the Five Elements Heaven to store things.

"No grade......" Guan Lao said casually.

"Ah!" Li Zhiming's face darkened, daring to love this stone ring, is it really just like its appearance, ordinary, without any uniqueness?

Seeing that this kid was about to start yelling again, Guan Lao hurriedly said: "What is it called, it is no grade now, but it does not mean that it will always be ...... in the future."

"What do you say?" Li Zhiming continued to wonder.

"It can expand ......" Guan Lao's understatement made Li Zhiming's face immediately turn from cloudy to sunny, and he dared to love this is really a baby. The source ring that can be expanded, not only has he never heard of it, but he has never seen it.

"I don't know how to expand the capacity?" Placing the stone ring on his little finger calmly, Li Zhiming continued to ask with a flattering smile.

Guan Lao smiled, and the words he said made Li Zhiming immediately lose his head, "Don't worry, this expansion method, even if it is taught to you immediately, you will not be able to use it in a short period of time." ”

"Why is this?" asked one question after another, and Li Zhiming felt helpless when he asked it, and if he wanted to blame it, he had to blame him for knowing too little.

"Because before that, you have to learn to realize the power of space. ”

"The power of space?" Hearing these four words, Li Zhiming couldn't help but hang his head and become depressed, because indeed, the reason why the Source Ring can store things is because there are special people who have opened up a small space in the ring, and this kind of specialized people, what they are best at is using the power of space.

However, if you want to have the ability to control the power of space, you must at least be able to understand it after opening up the source domain. And even if he reaches that realm, the power of space that he can control is limited, and Li Zhiming is still too far from that realm. Even if he is gifted with demons, if he wants to open up the Source Domain, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least seven or eight years......

"So, don't dwell too much on this for the time being, let's get ready to learn how to portray the Thunder Lotus Spell. Seeing Li Zhiming's depressed appearance, Guan Lao couldn't help but smile, and then raised his right hand lightly, and a diamond-shaped energy crystal with transparent color quickly condensed and formed in his hand.

"This is a necessary thing to depict the source charm, the source energy seal ......", Guan Lao's palm was gently gripped, and the transparent diamond-shaped energy crystal quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it became the same size as Li Zhiming.

"The source seal can be large or small, and the size depends on the strength of a person. It can only be said that the larger the single source energy seal, the more source spells can be depicted. That way, the more powerful the Source Charm can be. As he spoke, Guan Lao's heart moved, and his two fingers pointed out straight out, accompanied by a ray of golden light that quickly poured into the source energy seal, and the source energy seal actually shrank sharply, and then turned into a golden light point smaller than dust in an instant.

Then, the point of light blooms like a flower, only to see one petal after another grow out one after another, and finally when the ninth petal is formed, a beautiful nine-colored lotus flower that is enough for people to indulge in it at a glance slowly rotates up, and occasionally there will be a thunderous roar in the lotus, which represents the energy contained in this beautiful lotus, which has been violent to an extreme.

"Ah, little guy, this is the product of the final form of the Thunder Lotus Mantra, Nine Colored Thunder Lotus!", the palm of his hand set off the Thunder Lotus, and the Guan Lao, who was always smiling on his face, waved at Li Zhiming, "Normally, it can blow up all the existences whose strength is under the Nine Forgings of the Source Base to the point of no bones. However, the one in my hand was carved by me personally, so its power is naturally stronger than the ordinary Nine-Colored Thunder Lotus. It is estimated that as long as the existence under the five heavens of the Source Realm is next to each other, there will be no ...... left in the slag."

Guan Lao's words, but the latter was greedy, and immediately begged excitedly: "Send me, send me ......"

It's no wonder that Li Zhiming at this time will no longer have the calm posture he used to have, after all, this thunder lotus in front of him is a powerful thing that can blow up all the existences under the five heavens of the Source Realm to the point that there are no bones, and for the current Li Zhiming, it is a rare thing, naturally it can be fished out of Guan Lao's body.

"Look at your monkey hurry, hey, give it to you......" Guan Lao flicked his fingers, and the thunder lotus turned into a streamer and swept into the source ring in Li Zhiming's finger. This nine-colored thunder lotus may indeed be a big killer for Li Zhiming, but for Guan Lao, it is just a thing that comes easily, so he is not stingy at all when he gives it to Li Zhiming.

Happily touching the source ring, Li Zhiming's eyes suddenly flashed a touch of cunning, he raised his head, looked at Guan Lao, and pretended to be puzzled: "Master, there is still something that the apprentice does not understand?"

"Speaking ......" was called by Li Zhiming one by one, and the mood of watching the old man can be said to be very happy, so it is a question that must be answered.

"Since the more powerful this source spell is, the more difficult it is to portray, so if you fight with people, if you follow the carving method that Master did before, I'm afraid that before I finish carving a source charm, I will already die. Such an idea had already sprung up in the latter's mind when Guan Lao demonstrated the method of depicting the source talisman to the newt just now.

It's just that with Li Zhiming's intelligence, he can naturally think of a very simple truth, that is, practice makes perfect. No matter how difficult it is to make, as long as you become proficient, it will become easier. That way, the speed will naturally be fast. Li Zhiming naturally understands such a simple truth, and the reason why he knowingly asks is because he has other plans......

Sure enough, when Li Zhiming asked this question, the old man sitting on the stone chair replied with a smile: "You can't look at the problem like this, isn't there a word called practice makes perfect." One day, when you reach a certain level of attainment in the source charm, the portrayal of the source charm is actually just a thought effort. For example, I ...... like this right now" The moment the words fell, Guan Lao spread out his right palm casually, and then immediately nine nine-colored thunder lotus flowers appeared in turn and hovered around each other around his right palm.

That scene really looks a bit spectacular......

"Awesome! Teacher......" Li Zhiming couldn't help but boast directly, looking at the old man's hand, to say something honest, it really amazed him.

"That Master, in my opinion, since you have all produced these thunder lotuses, it would be a waste to scatter them, so why don't you give them all to me. Li Zhiming first pretended to be casual, and then waited for the moment when the old man wanted to disperse the nine thunder lotuses, and hurriedly stopped him.

Looking at Li Zhiming, who was about to express his coveted intentions at a glance, Guan Lao, who should have sent Lei Lian out directly, suddenly frowned, and said meaningfully: "As long as you think about the teacher, you can get one hundred and eighty things that are even more powerful than this." However, the teacher did not want to do this. You should know that relying too much on external forces will one day become a potential hidden danger, or even your weakness. Therefore, if you want others to help you, the most important thing is to be strong enough. ”

Guan Lao's sudden teachings made Li Zhiming stunned, and he immediately understood his deep meaning, so he had to hang his head and say: "Disciple understands......"

After that, Li Zhiming was not ready to fight the idea of the nine thunder lotuses again, but at this moment, the voice of Guan Laofeng came slowly: "It is best to understand, and these nine thunder lotuses will be given to you together." But remember, when dealing with fellow disciples, you must not use them, you can only use the Lei Lian portrayed by yourself, understand?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiming was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Disciple remember!"

"I should explain your affairs, and I have also explained it to the teacher. Next, you should go back and prepare for the test of the new disciple entering the temple in a month's time, don't slack off, and don't embarrass the teacher when the time comes. In addition, you are my apprentice, don't deliberately publicize it. First, it will not benefit you, and second, others will think that you are a psychopath. After sending the nine nine-colored thunder lotus flowers into Li Zhiming's source ring, Guan Lao instructed again, and then under Li Zhiming's smiling gaze, he disappeared unconsciously.

Looking at the Guan Lao who suddenly disappeared, Li Zhiming was stunned for a while before revealing his indifferent face in ordinary days. He stared at the place where Guan Lao disappeared and muttered in a low voice, "Now it seems that my luck is not so bad. It's just that this master seems to be a bit mysterious......"
