"You want to be my disciple?" The fat old man's eyes flashed. The originally frivolous look in his eyes disappeared. His gaze made people feel a sense of pressure!
Yi Yun's breathing stagnated. After looking at the fat elder for a while, he slowly shook his head, "It's meaningless for you to ask me if I want to be your disciple because the decision is not in my hands. My wishes are not important. If you want to take in a disciple, there will be many elites wanting to be your disciple. You can choose freely. If you don't want to take in a disciple, it would be useless even if they begged you on their knees. "
"Oh?" The fat elder was once again shocked by Yi Yun's words. This kid was greedy, but he knew when to advance and when to retreat!
This was extremely rare!
Some people did not know how to fight for the greatest benefit. They were too lazy to do anything and were muddle-headed. It was easy for them to lead a mediocre life. This was not desirable.
There were also some people who were greedy and greedy. They did not know what they were worth and thought they were infallible. They might even end up destroying themselves. This was the so-called "humans die for wealth and birds die for food" principle. This was even more undesirable.
And this child, at the age of twelve, had such wisdom. He strived for the best, but he knew when to advance and when to retreat. It was not easy.
This child could tell that he did not want to take him in as a disciple, so he did not ask for it.
"Brat, this old man admires you very much. You've guessed correctly, this old man cannot accept you as a disciple. This old man is indeed very interested in your unique cooking techniques, but cooking is just cooking. This old man's acceptance of a disciple is a very important matter. Actually, to be honest with you, this old man has indeed been looking for a suitable successor all these years. However, as for you … I've seen your bone structure, and your bone structure isn't good. You're not qualified. What I said might be harsh, but it's the truth … "
Yi Yun did not mind and said calmly, "I know."
"Well … it's good that you understand. Your wisdom far exceeds children your age. Maybe you can try the imperial examinations and become a small official. That way, you will not have to worry about food or clothing."
In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the real feudal officials were all strong warriors. The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom ruled the country through martial arts. Whether it was a general or a governor, they had to know martial arts first! Those who were good at literature but not at martial arts could only be small officials such as advisors or clerks.
Noticing that Yi Yun was clearly not listening, the fat elder continued, "When it comes to cultivation, it's not that the mind is useless, but the key is talent."
"In this world, resources are very precious. A warrior's resources are all sorts of treasures and desolate bone relics! In a large family clan, desolate bone relics are extremely limited. Priority will be given to the most talented disciples. "
"People with good talent can absorb a desolate bone relic and increase their strength by ten times. Those with poor talent can also absorb a desolate bone relic and increase their strength by ten times. And the further one goes, the harder it is to increase one's strength. No matter how big a family clan is, they will not be able to afford it!"
Upon hearing the fat elder's words, Yi Yun was in deep thought. Actually, he had roughly asked Jiang Xiaorou about cultivation, but it was not as clear as this elder.
With limited resources, talent was indeed important.
Lian Chengyu's ambition to break through to the Purple Blood realm was naturally due to his talent.
If not for his talent, with just the barren Lian Clan Herb Mountain and a poisonous desolate bone, Lian Chengyu would not have been able to enter the Purple Blood realm.
Yi Yun understood his situation. He was just a normal youth, a mortal through and through. He had nothing to do with a martial arts family clan, so how could he have the talent to practice martial arts?
But thinking of the many days he had been relying on the Purple Crystal to absorb the energy from the herbs and desolate bones, his cultivation speed was not slow. This was clearly the credit of the Purple Crystal.
The Purple Crystal penetrated deep into his heart. With every heartbeat, the Purple Crystal's energy would flow throughout his body, improving his physique. This method of absorption was much more effective than other warriors using their intestines to absorb energy.
After understanding this, Yi Yun's thoughts became clearer. He looked up at the fat elder and said, "I do not need senior to take me in as a disciple."
Since the fat elder had made his attitude clear, Yi Yun did not insist. Actually, even if the fat elder wanted to take Yi Yun in as a disciple, Yi Yun would have to consider it carefully. After all, the secret he had was of great importance. If he did not carefully consider the Purple Crystal Origins' characteristics, and rashly acknowledged him as a disciple, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I want to ask senior for a precious medicine! Be it fierce beast essence, desolate beast meat, herbs or even desolate bones! "
When Yi Yun said this, the fat elder laughed, "Kid, you really think too highly of yourself. You sure have a good plan. A few plates of chicken, and the ingredients are provided by me, and you want to exchange them for desolate bone relics?"
The desolate bone relics in the fat elder's ring were all high grade. If he could exchange them for a few dishes, it would be child's play.
"It seems like you can't bear to listen to my words." The fat elder shook his head, as if the child could not be taught. "You really want to walk the path of martial arts. It's not easy for you to reach the Tempered Body realm by chance. Although your physique is not bad, you have not gone through any systematic martial arts training. Do you know any cultivation techniques? Do you know any martial arts techniques? Do you have any spiritual cultivation techniques? You don't have a master, nor do you have any manuals. Are you planning to self-learn and cultivate to the Purple Blood realm? "
The fat elder's series of rhetorical questions were all memorized by Yi Yun. Cultivation techniques! Martial arts techniques! Spiritual cultivation techniques!
Although there were some things he did not understand, it was not important. There was no doubt that he had to get his hands on all of them in the future!
As for the Purple Blood realm the fat elder mentioned … The Purple Blood realm was not Yi Yun's goal. Yi Yun knew that there were many higher realms above the Purple Blood realm.
Since he had obtained the mysterious Purple Crystal card, how could he become a Purple Blood warrior and live in a small tribe with poor resources in the Cloud Wilderness?
Of course, he could not say his goal out loud, or people would think he was crazy.
Yi Yun said, "I have never come into contact with martial arts and spiritual cultivation techniques, but for cultivation techniques, I have learned a body-tempering cultivation technique called 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'!"
"'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'!" The fat elder's face flashed a hint of surprise. "You know this fist technique? This' Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist 'is considered the top body-tempering cultivation technique in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Even in my eyes, this fist technique has many merits. It's considered a classic! Does that mean you have a master to teach you? "
Although the 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' was made public by the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, a poor kid from a small tribe in the Cloud Wilderness would not have the chance to learn it.
The fat elder was surprised that Yi Yun knew a bit of 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'.
"I don't have a master. I learned it secretly when the tribesmen were practicing martial arts!"
"Secretly learned?" The fat elder shook his head.
Although Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist was the basics, it was not simple. With the kid's martial arts foundation, he might not be able to achieve much even if he learned it properly, so what could he learn from it secretly?
Secretly learning was just imitating it. The crux of it was hard to understand.
Besides, how could there be a good fist master in this backwater of the Cloud Wilderness?
The kid's master who taught him was probably a dabbler himself. How could his' Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist 'be good?
A lousy master, and this kid learned it secretly. He probably learned some superficial cultivation techniques and thought it was not bad.
The fat elder did not look down on the natives of the Cloud Wilderness, but he felt that the people of the Cloud Wilderness were limited by their knowledge. They did not know how big the outside world was and how many experts there were.
"How can 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' be learned secretly? Do you know 'Like a String'? Do you know 'Contains Thunder in the Bones'? Can you produce wind from your fist? " The fat elder retorted. Some people with a bit of martial arts foundation were able to demonstrate the "Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist" to a decent level, but it was just for show. They did not know the essence of "Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist".
Yi Yun cupped his fists and said, "I'm not talented, but I know a thing or two about 'Like a String' and 'Contains Thunder in the Bones'!"
How could Yi Yun not know the symbol of the large success stage of 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist', Startled Bow Drops Flock? Before he reached the Meridians realm, he had already used the sound of his tendons to startle the birds in the forest!
Now, with his meridians at the large success stage, his Ren Du Er Mai cleared, and his Tempered Body had reached perfection! Yi Yun felt the energy in his body surging like waves. If not for the fat elder and the girl in white's sudden appearance, Yi Yun would have long practiced a set of 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' to see the results of his training.
"Haha! What a good 'know a thing or two'! " The fat elder obviously did not believe that Yi Yun had any achievements. "Now that you say it, I want to see how far you've practiced 'Like a String' and 'Contains Thunder in the Bones'!"
The fat elder chuckled and suddenly had the wicked idea of teaching Yi Yun a lesson. He turned his head and said to Lin Xintong, "Xintong, on this trip to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, didn't I give you a rough copy of 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'? You've casually practiced this cultivation technique for about half a month. Although you didn't put much effort into it, you should have some small achievements! "
"Spar with this kid and give him some pointers."
"Right, suppress your cultivation level. Use your Tempered Body at the third level of Mortal Blood, the Thunderous realm. Don't injure the kid."
