Practitioners and misers
"Li Hong, how have you learned the seventy-two techniques of the earth's evil?"
An old man with a fairy wind and bones lowered his head, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and asked with a smile.
Li Hong was practicing the method of [Easy Shadow Change], and when he saw the arrival of his master, he quickly got up, bowed humbly, and then replied respectfully: "These seventy-two techniques are complicated and complicated, and it is difficult to learn them thoroughly for a while. Now the means of [moving mountains and reclamation] and [Law Heaven Like Earth] are passable, but the magic power in this [Easy Shadow Change] is not easy to master. ”
The old man was very interested when he heard this: "I think it's good that you changed that green pine the day before yesterday, why are there still difficulties?"
Li Hong knew that this master was the most kind, and when he heard the words, he understood that he intended to instruct him in the Dao, so he hurriedly bowed down again: "Don't hide from the master and uncle, now it is not too difficult for the disciple to become a mountain or a bird, and it is seven or eight points similar to rolling on the spot." It's just that this change of appearance is not very easy to do. ”
"Show me!"
When Li Hong heard this, he shook his body and turned into a walking man, with black skin, swollen eyes, and a bearded face.
"Get good! Get good!"
Li Hong turned around when he heard this, and changed into a white-skinned scholar again, with thin eyes and a sharp face, thin and elegant.
"It's not bad! You can try to be a woman again!"
Li Hong took a deep breath, and the law in the sea of knowledge immediately appeared, Li Hong concocted it in the same way, and the inner pill in the dantian immediately turned, and the qi of the five elements filled the whole body in an instant. Li Hong followed and recited another incantation, borrowing a few mana blocks in the surrounding air and pressing them to the chest, abdomen and waist, a blue light flashed, and the handsome young man had already turned into a graceful woman. At first glance, it is vivid, and if you look closely, it is indescribably awkward.
Li Hongqiao's face flushed: "Uncle Shi, do you think it's a little inappropriate for me to be like this?"
The old man laughed: "Li Hong, take off your pants and take a look!"
The woman Li Hong became shy, and hurriedly waved her hand: "You can't take it off!"
The old man had already seen through Li Hong's hands and feet, and said with a smile: "You, you are too strong, and your mana is too much." The two men who have just changed have different descriptions, which can be said to be perfect. But the woman's appearance is a little artificial, because you really want to be perfect. But what's the use of that?"
Li Hong wiped his face, withdrew the spell, frowned and thought carefully about the old man's words: "Please ask Uncle Shi for advice." ”
"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the transfiguration?"
"Disguise your identity and confuse your enemies!"
"Yes, is it necessary to make the invisible so perfect to disguise one's identity?"
Li Hong hesitated: "It doesn't seem necessary!"
"Of course there's no need!" the old man smiled, "You're simply squandering your mana." If you want to confuse the enemy, use illusion when you can use illusion, and if illusion is not successful, you can use the magic power of change. When you change, why do you want to become so delicate even in the invisible places? Mana is limited after all, and when you first become a woman, if you only focus your mind and mana on your face, instead of caring about the inside of your clothes, wouldn't it be more comfortable? Wouldn't the change be more vivid?"
Li Hong suddenly realized that he originally wanted to ask his master to guide him on the skills of his spells, but he didn't expect that his master didn't have any suggestions for skills, but he let himself save mana.
The old man paused, and then asked, "If you fight with others and cultivate to be on par with the other party, what is your strategy?"
"Fight quickly, solve quickly! The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!"
"That's right! Master duels are often decided by two or three rounds!" The old man suddenly became serious: "But what if you can't win in one go?"
"That's a protracted battle!" Li Hong suddenly understood what Uncle Shi meant: "The mana is equal, and in the end, it depends on who can use the mana most effectively, and the more cautious the use of mana, the greater the chance of victory." And if you want to fight quickly, you need to use mana reasonably, and only the person who wastes the least mana can exert the power of the spell to the extreme!"
When the old man heard this, he laughed loudly: "You can teach you! Li Hong, remember! Cultivators are all misers, misers, and the richer they are, the more stingy they are. The stronger the mana, the more you must know how to cherish the mana!"
"Only those who don't waste a little time can climb to the top of the avenue. Only those who don't waste any mana can win every fight. Only those who do not waste any effort can live forever. We're too far from the end, and any waste along the way could kill us. Cultivators are the most selfish, reluctant to have time, reluctant feelings, reluctant to mana, stingy with everything, eager to take everything useful to their own path. Sometimes giving up is actually for the sake of greater gains in the future, if you see a cultivator who is selfless, then he either has other plans, or he is already hopeless!"
Li Hong stood on the cliff in a daze, recalling every word of Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi had turned into a breeze and left, and Li Hong couldn't help but think, "What does Uncle Shi want from me?"
