Li Huayuan's eyes widened, feeling that he couldn't keep up with the brain circuits of his great disciple.
Don’t want to practice the exercises? Don’t you want to form pills?
And why do you want to practice physical training? Is it because you are handsome and want to be a cowboy for those high-level female cultivators?
As for the spirit stone...
Li Huayuan can understand this. Judging from Liu Jing's stingy look, he is probably a money addict.
Liu Jing also knew that he had to give Li Huayuan an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult to get through, so he told him what he had already prepared.
As the most powerful sect among the seven major sects of the Yue Kingdom, Huang Maple Valley has many immortal cultivating families attached to it, and Liu Jing's Liu family is one of them.
The ancestors of the Liu family had alchemy monks, but that happened a long time ago.
The current head of the Liu family is named Liu Xiu. He is in the middle stage of foundation building and is over 200 years old. He also comes from Yellow Maple Valley.
Liu Jing is the only young man of the Liu family's generation who has true spiritual roots, which also means that the rest of the young people of the Liu family are basically hopeless in building foundations.
"Master, when my apprentice was very young, my parents disappeared without a trace after going out for training. It was the head of the Liu family who sent my apprentice into the Yellow Maple Valley. If my apprentice succeeds in building the foundation one day, the head of the family hopes that I can practice the family's skills.
.”
"Master, since ancient times there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety!"
Li Huayuan's expression softened a little, and he could understand the reasons given by Liu Jing.
After all, he himself has to take care of his Li family from time to time.
Cultivation families are different from sects. Although they occasionally recruit people with other surnames, their core skills and main resources will basically only be given to disciples of their own surnames.
Coupled with the thin population and limited resources, there are far fewer immortal cultivating families than cultivating sects that can prosper for a long time.
"How old is your family leader?" Li Huayuan asked seemingly casually, but in fact he was very concerned.
Liu Jing showed a sad expression: "The head of the family is already over 210 years old."
This time he showed his true feelings. The head of the family also promised that if Liu Jing could successfully build the foundation, he would hand over the Liu family's precious heirloom - the true treasure "Fire Phoenix Talisman" to Liu Jing.
"oh……"
Li Huayuan suddenly realized that this meant that the head of the Liu family, who was only in the middle stage of foundation building, did not have much time left.
This is the case in cultivating immortals. If you cannot cross the bottleneck of the next level, your life span will not be extended and you will eventually die.
"Okay, since that's the case, you can't force others to do things as a teacher." Li Huayuan finally agreed with Liu Jing's opinion.
Phew~
Finally getting through the test, Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he himself was not afraid that Li Huayuan would go to the head of the Liu family for verification.
The owner of the family is good, and they are both old and about to die. His only wish is that the Liu family can pass on the inheritance, and the children of the Liu family can prosper, and he is the hope of the Liu family. As long as he knows it in advance, the other party will definitely be willing to cooperate.
acting.
On the other side, Li Huayuan sighed softly, transparent spiritual power rose up in his palm, and three jade slips flew directly into his hand.
"Jing'er, these three jade slips all record body refining techniques. You can choose one."
Li Huayuan handed the jade slip to Liu Jing's hand.
"Yes, master."
Liu Jing took the three jade slips and chose a corner to sit down cross-legged.
Li Huayuan sat on the other side, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Liu Jing's spiritual consciousness scanned the three jade slips one by one very carefully. He found that there were two jade slips containing physical training techniques, which were often used to assist in physical training.
It's not easy to practice, nor is it difficult to practice, but if you want to practice to a profound level, you must spend a lot of time and resources.
As for the remaining jade slip, it is a bit strange.
The jade slip is so delicate that a lifelike python is engraved on its surface.
"Master, what is the origin of the physical refining technique in this jade slip?" Liu Jing stood up and walked to Li Huayuan, handing the jade slip in front of his eyes.
"This jade slip..."
Li Huayuan looked at it, with memories in his eyes.
"More than a hundred years ago, I picked up this jade slip in a cave when I was participating in the Blood Trial for my master. It records a set of ancient body refining techniques."
"Ancient body refining technique!" Liu Jing exclaimed.
Li Huayuan smiled disapprovingly: "Jing'er, don't think that anything with the word 'ancient' added to it will be very powerful. In fact, this body refining technique was very popular in ancient times."
"Not only those low-level immortal cultivators have this skill, but even those in secular martial arts who have no spiritual roots have also practiced it."
Liu Jing asked curiously: "Have you ever practiced, master?"
Li Huayuan smiled half-heartedly: "I've practiced it before. But Jing'er, this set of body-refining techniques is almost useless to immortal cultivators above the elixir formation stage."
"Only for low-level immortal cultivators and secular martial arts people, it has a strength bonus."
Liu Jing roughly understood it and asked with expectation: "Does it also increase the strength of the foundation-building period?"
"In the foundation building stage, there is also a certain bonus effect, but the effect is not as obvious as those in the Qi refining stage or the secular martial arts people."
Liu Jing's eyes were fixed on the python pattern on the jade slip. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "Master, this disciple has decided to choose this jade slip."
After Li Huayuan thought for a while, he said: "Well, at least this body refining technique can improve your self-preservation strength during the foundation building period. After all, with your qualifications of three spiritual roots, the chance of forming a pill is not great."
This is not because he wants to attack Liu Jing, but because he has gained experience from the long history of the world of immortality.
There are only a handful of immortal cultivators with three spiritual roots who can successfully form elixirs in the entire ten thousand years of history.
Liu Jing was in high spirits, sighing, with a look of helplessness on his face, as if he had accepted the fact that "the formation of the core is slim".
In fact, Li Huayuan was right. Except for the idiot Han Laomo, none of his disciples had successfully formed an elixir.
"Master, the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots are good or bad. I am aware of myself when it comes to forming pills, but..."
A cunning look flashed in Liu Jing's eyes: "Master, my disciple has already learned the body refining technique. As for the spiritual stone..."
Li Huayuan's face darkened, and he pointed at Liu Jing angrily: "You little money-crazy guy!"
"Master, my disciple has been so poor recently that I can't get rid of the pot!" Liu Jing said sadly, "What's more, this time my disciple didn't learn any advanced skills, only a set of mediocre body-refining skills.
It’s reasonable to want to ask for some more spiritual stones as compensation.”
Li Huayuan could not refute Liu Jing's words.
"Okay, how many spiritual stones do you want?"
"Ten thousand?"
"Why don't you go and grab it!" Li Huayuan glared at him.
"Then how much can the master give to the disciple?"
"Five thousand, at most five thousand. This is because you are the chief disciple and you have won a bet with the Scarlet Trial Gang for your master." Li Huayuan said with a serious face.
"Master, how about this? You give my disciple five thousand spiritual stones, and then borrow five thousand spiritual stones from me. The disciple will return the borrowed five thousand spiritual stones to the master within five years."
"Five years? What about the interest?"
Liu Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Master, from now on, the disciple must be filial to the master, and there will be no interest between us."
Li Huayuan's face darkened, and he pointed his finger out of the cave: "Take the spirit stone and get out of here right now!"
