Chapter 23 Still practicing swords
The silly disciple hugged Qin Ran, and his soul was gone. He should have taken the opportunity to let Li Shiyin decide to practice the exercises, but he hesitated for a long time, unable to speak, so he had to leave in a hurry...escape.
Then for the whole afternoon, he didn't show up again. He was locked in the research building alone, not knowing what he was doing.
It wasn't until dinner in the evening, when he cleared away the dishes and came out of the kitchen, that he saw the girl playing with the cat on the sofa, that he finally remembered what was important.
The foundation has been established, so choosing a technique can no longer be postponed.
He coughed dryly to remind Li Shiyin that he was about to speak. When the girl picked up the cat and looked over, he looked out the window and said:
"Before building the foundation, in order for you to have more choices and to plant better cyclone seeds, I will let you practice the most basic "Basic Skills" and give you enough time to think about whether to practice
Sword or alchemy.
"Now that you have established the foundation, continuing to practice with the "Basic Exercises" will delay the progress of your practice. Therefore, you must make a final decision."
"I..." Li Shiyin glanced at Qin Ran, lowered her head and looked at the Xuanming Spirit Tiger in her arms. After hesitating for a long time, she still replied, "I don't know."
Qin Ran looked away from the window and looked at Li Shiyin. The stupid apprentice was obviously impulsive and straightforward, otherwise she would not have accepted his disciples. However, at this time, she was hesitant and unable to determine the path to practice.
He sighed and asked softly: "Why do you want to make an elixir?"
"At the beginning of the year..." Li Shiyin placed her hands on Zhuifeng's furry body and replied softly, "Grandpa passed away."
She did not directly answer why she had to make elixirs, but her reasons for making elixirs were very clear. Qin Ran's eyes softened and he looked at her but said nothing.
"Grandpa was the founding general of the Northern Chu Kingdom. He fought for Northern Chu in the north and south, expanded its territory, and made great military exploits. He is a great hero that everyone respects." The tone of the carefree and silly apprentice suddenly became very soft, she recalled.
road,
"Grandpa is very tall and powerful. His arms are thicker than my waist. Last year he killed an assassin who came to our house with one punch. He had a very beautiful horse. During the first snowfall in winter, he played with it in the snow.
He said that as the weather gets warmer in the new year, he would like to go to the battlefield."
As she spoke, her tears couldn't stop flowing. She wiped away her tears, looked at Qin Ran with a smile, and continued, "Master, you must think that my grandpa is very fierce, but he is not. Grandpa is very gentle and treats me
Very good. When I came back from the court last time, I would buy me sugar-coated haws. When I was at home, I would make toys, cut wooden swords, and protect me from being bullied by my brother...
"But...but..." she sobbed, "after that dance, grandpa said his knees hurt..."
She became more and more sad, sobbing and unable to speak any more.
Qin Ran walked over, picked up the tissue on the table and handed it to her.
"I thought grandpa was invincible in the world. I never thought that grandpa would live forever, but I never thought that grandpa would get old, become haggard, and become skinny. I thought grandpa's white hair was natural white hair. Grandpa
The wrinkles are natural wrinkles..." Li Shiyin cried for a while, wiped her tears and continued,
"But grandpa just died. He died suddenly. In the blink of an eye, it was as if Li Konghe had never appeared in this world."
She looked up at Qin Ran with red eyes, pitifully, "So I started to be afraid that my brother would die suddenly, my father would die suddenly, my mother would die suddenly. No, it's not fear, whenever I think of people, they will definitely die.
At that time, I knew they would definitely die..."
Qin Ran looked at her calmly.
"But I don't want them to die. Every time they get older, I feel panic..." Li Shiyin said, "I know that people will definitely die, but there are immortals in this world who will never die, and there are elixirs that can stay young and prolong life...
"
"Master..." She suddenly became determined and said to Qin Ran, "I want to make elixirs!"
"What a stupid disciple... She doesn't realize what it means to embark on the path of cultivating an immortal." Qin Ran sighed in his heart. He raised his head and looked through the window into the darkness in the distance. "Cultivating an immortal means loneliness. With
It’s the same when Sun Wukong wears a diamond circle. Although the world of immortality and the human world are one world, they are like two parallel time and spaces."
But he didn't intend to preach at this time. He thought for a while and said, "Have you ever thought that you don't have to make elixirs by yourself..."
Li Shiyin was stunned for a moment, then woke up, her eyes slowly brightened, and she stared at Qin Ran.
Then Qin Ran said: "You can improve your cultivation level and find someone to rob it... Anyway, in the world of immortality, the law of the jungle is the prey of the strong."
The light in Li Shiyin's eyes disappeared instantly. She shook her head and said, "Looking for someone to rob me? Forget it!"
"But you can still ask others to refine it..." Qin Ran looked away, stopped teasing, and said with a smile, "Since you have become my disciple, I can help you refine whatever elixir you want."
Li Shiyin waited for this sentence for a long time. She looked at Qin Ran: "Master, are you telling the truth?"
"Really." Qin Ran nodded.
Li Shiyin stopped crying and jumped up. The confused Zhuifeng in her arms was suddenly thrown away, and she quickly changed her body shape before falling to the ground. Li Shiyin continued to rush forward, wanting to hug Qin Ran again.
Fortunately, Qin Ran discovered her intention in advance, reached out his hand in time, and pressed her forehead to stop her "disrespectful behavior".
"So, refining alchemy or practicing swordsmanship?" Qin Ran asked while pressing Li Shiyin's head.
"Practice swordsmanship!" Li Shiyin affirmed. She was a tiger girl in the general family and was born to practice martial arts. It was really too difficult for her to let her practice writing and calligraphy.
"Then choose a skill!" Qin Ran pushed Li Shiyin away, flicked his hand, and five skills appeared. In the past few days, he untied a jade slip and got a new basic sword skill.
""Dayan Sword Technique", "Heavenly Sword", "Qingyun Sword Technique", "Geng Jin Fei Sword Technique" and "Nine Turns of Stars Sword Technique".
"Master, which book do you think is suitable for me to practice?" Li Shiyin didn't choose, and asked Qin Ran's opinion first.
""The Geng Gold Flying Sword Technique"..." Qin Ran threw the "Geng Gold Flying Sword Technique" to her and explained, "This is not only a sword technique, but also a metal technique."
Li Shiyin opened the page and saw the exercises recorded on it, and muttered: "Flying sword?"
This tone was quite dissatisfying, Qin Ran frowned and asked: "What's wrong with Feijian?"
"Flying swords are boring..." Li Shiyin said.
"Why is Feijian no longer interesting?" Qin Ran was puzzled.
Li Shiyin did not explain. She thought for a moment, looked at the other exercises, and asked, "Are these exercises chosen for me?"
"right."
"Then give it all to me!" Li Shiyin stretched out her hand.
"You want to practice it all?" Qin Ran was displeased.
"No..." Li Shiyin shook her head, "I'll take a look at them all and then decide which one to practice."
Qin Ran thought it made sense, so he handed her the other four exercises, but warned again: "You can't chew off more than you can chew, you can only choose one! Do you understand?"
Li Shiyin nodded repeatedly, looked at the exercises, and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
Seeing her like this, Qin Ran was particularly worried and said: "It is best to practice one basic skill to ensure that the magic power is pure. If you practice too many, the magic power will be mixed and conflict easily."
"I know!" Li Shiyin sat back on the sofa, looked at "Dayan Sword Art" and replied without raising her head, obviously a little impatient.
