Chapter 552 Hidden Trouble
One dark night, Lu De was in bed, sleeping soundly.
But at this time, the jade pendant on his chest flickered and sent out a wave, forming a secret communication technique.
This technique is almost impossible to detect in this world, because the technology used in this technique exceeds the imagination of everyone in this world. Even if there are traces, it is impossible to separate it from the clutter.
"Boss, how's the situation over there lately?" A message was sent over using the communication technique.
Shufa received a message: "Everything is going well on my side. I have built a few underground ruins and are decorating them. When the time comes, you can bring them over directly after you have deceived people. They were shocked to keep them and become our organization. die-hard fans.”
Shitou continued to send the message: "That's good. By the way, I also noticed that the recent situation seems a bit uneven. It seems to be caused by our landing. This group of people is a lot nervous and they all think it is the other party's fault. , It seems like there’s going to be a fight, so be careful over there.”
Li Shiwei replied: "I'm in the wild. You can't hit me anywhere. But you should be careful not to be discovered by the powerful people in this world. Then you will be in trouble."
Shitou sent: "I understand, let's break it off first. The kid I found is quite smart and will definitely be of great help. By the way, we're not just trying to make money or kill ourselves, are we?"
It took Li Shiwei a while to reply: "That's for sure. We just want to collect the history of civilization. How much money can these people have for us? This world is not worth much money. I will kill you." It’s better to take it easy, the history of civilization is important.”
"Okay." Shitou said, and then closed the communication.
Lu De didn't wake up, he was still sleeping soundly. After all, he was still just a child.
The stone also fell into silence.
Soon, it was morning.
In the morning, Lu De woke up. The young man with short brown hair rubbed his face, and then held the round jade pendant engraved with strange patterns on his chest.
This jade pendant was accidentally collected when he was collecting those equipment.
Entrusted by Teacher Jin, he was responsible for collecting equipment for high-level instructors and purchasing those 'spiritual equipment', which were said to be used in sacrifices to communicate with the gods.
During an acquisition, he accidentally bought this stone that looked beautiful but was actually worthless.
It is indeed very beautiful, but it is not any kind of gemstone. Although it is round and smooth, it is not transparent.
In the country, it is generally believed that the more transparent the gemstone, the more valuable it is. They also like to cut the gemstone into polyhedrons to improve the optical performance and make the gemstone more sparkling.
Although this dark-yellow stone is beautiful, its transparency is very low and it is considered a worthless miscellaneous stone. It was also polished into a round cake shape, making it impossible to continue cutting it.
But Lu De still felt that this kind of broken stone had an inexplicable attraction, so he spent a little money to buy it together.
Who would have thought that this weird broken stone actually contains the soul of an ancient high-level mentor! It's just that this high-level mentor is extremely weak and his body has died, but he has not turned into a ghost.
The other party refused to say his name, but proposed a deal to Lu De.
Lu De helped the other party reshape his body and be resurrected.
The other party will give Lu De knowledge, the knowledge that all people on the road to truth long for.
Lu De was very suspicious, so he didn't agree at first, but the other party provided some small knowledge as verification.
After that, Lu De used this knowledge in many places, and even received awards from senior instructors and praise from Teacher Jin for it.
So, just yesterday, Lu De finally agreed to the deal.
He didn't want to continue to be a poor country boy ignored by others, and he didn't want to be unable to afford research equipment.
He needs knowledge, because knowledge is everything. Knowledge can be exchanged for wealth, status, and power. In the process of pursuing the truth, knowledge is everything.
As if sensing Lu De's determination, Shitou said, "Are you ready? I remember that in ten days, you will have a very important test, which is related to whether you can enter the institute's project..."
Lu De interrupted Shitou directly and said directly: "I won't rely on you for the test. I won't get anything by cheating. I will get the qualification to participate in the project on my own."
"Well, that's good, but I'm not going to cheat for you. What I mean is that during the ten days of the test, I can help you make up lessons and let you learn something powerful." Shitou said.
"...Then what do I have to pay?" Lu De was a little wary.
Shitou said calmly: "No need for anything, I just want you to grow up quickly so that you can help me resurrect my body quickly."
Lu De seemed a little surprised when he heard this reason.
But after a while, he nodded, and then whispered: "Then...thank you."
"No, go wash up and eat." Shitou replied.
Ten days later, Lu De took the exam.
In the past ten days, he almost forgot about sleep and food, using all his energy to learn the knowledge of stones. Stones did not hide anything, and almost answered all questions to help the other party get the only place in the exam.
However, during this exam, he met the platinum-haired aristocratic classmate again, who seemed determined to win.
Both sides are determined to win, so only the subordinates can see the truth.
It was really a... tough battle.
Yes, ‘fight’, the conflict is not limited to written exams. After the two people scored full marks in three consecutive written exams, the indifferent senior instructor directly announced that they would practice their abilities through fighting.
When Teacher Jin heard this, he hurried to persuade the only senior instructor of the institute, saying that the two excellent apprentices were both very good, there was no need to decide who would win, and there were not many resources for apprentices, so why not give them two places.
But the senior instructor didn’t even look at them, and turned away directly, leaving only a light sentence: "I only need one."
So, there was only fighting.
On one side was a perfect noble son who had received combat training since childhood and trained both theory and practice.
On the other side was an ugly duckling from the countryside, who even had to cram for theoretical knowledge.
The result was obvious.
He did understand a lot of theory, but combat training was very expensive, and he didn’t have that much money to buy courses.
Without training, he would definitely be hung up and beaten.
Lu De was beaten so hard by the opponent that he could hardly move. His injuries were so serious that he had to lie in bed for more than a month, and he broke six bones. In the end, the opponent almost beat him to death.
One reason for his survival was that Teacher Jin stopped the fight in time, and the other reason was that Shitou took action and stopped the aftermath.
After the fight, Teacher Jin announced the victory of the other party, gave the quota to the other party, and then hurriedly carried Lu De to the doctor.
At the doctor's office, Teacher Jin didn't know what to comfort him, so the old man simply encouraged him a few words, telling him not to take it to heart and not to worry about the money, as he had already paid for the consultation and medicine.
Afterwards, Lu De said to Teacher Jin: "Don't worry... Teacher Jin, I know that my advantage is learning, and fighting is not something that can be learned in a short time. I will work harder in the future and make up for it when I pass the tutor qualification exam. It won't delay the current things."
Teacher Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you can think like this. Don't worry. The conditions of the two of you are different, but your future achievements will not be lower than his. Don't give up on yourself."
"I know." Lu De nodded with difficulty, forcing himself not to groan.
It hurts a lot, the fractured part.
Teacher Jin didn't stay long, after all, he was actually very busy, and he left soon.
Only Lu De was left lying on the bed.
He lay on the bed for a whole hour, without saying a word, without sleeping, just staring.
An hour later, he held the jade pendant on his chest.
"I want your knowledge." He said.
"Our deal was reached in ten days. I have never been stingy with the knowledge I give you, right?" Stone said so, almost without any fluctuation.
"I will give you all those crystals. What should I do to convert them into energy that you can use?" Lu De said again.
However, Stone did not continue to bluff, but said seriously: "Don't be blinded by anger. Without a calm heart of Tao, you can't find what you really want. If you can't find what you really want, then practice and study will become pure torture for you."
"Learning and practice are happy things in themselves, but when you are forced to do it by emotions or life, the torture they become is extremely painful. This kind of pain will make you lose the heart of pursuing Tao and eventually do nothing."
Hearing what Stone said, Lu De was stunned.
There was another silence. After a long while, Lu De asked in a tone he had never used before: "Are you really a high-level mentor?"
"Or I can say that I am stronger than all the high-level mentors in this world, and I am more qualified to be crowned with this title than them." Shitou replied seriously.
"Can you teach me?" Lu De asked.
"Teach me" and "give me knowledge" seem to be no different, but in fact there is a world of difference.
Shitou certainly understood the implication behind it, so he replied: "You are not qualified to be my apprentice now. I will not be stingy with my knowledge, but this is just a deal."
"You are much more honest than I thought, not like a devil who bewitches the soul." Lu De sighed.
"I am not, my purpose is very simple." Shitou said so.
Lu De nodded slightly, but immediately grinned again due to the pain.
Unconsciously, he was not so defensive against Shitou, and he would show a grinning expression in front of Shitou.
After he recovered, he said, "I didn't believe it before, but... now I believe it a little."
Shitou didn't comment on this attitude, but continued, "It's good that you believe it. Your current condition is too bad. If I really let you lie down for a month, I'm afraid I will have lost consciousness by then. I will teach you a set of methods. It's luck... ahem, it's a method to control the blood in your body. It can speed up your body's healing and make your physical fitness better."
"Okay, how to do it?" Lu De agreed immediately.
He didn't really want to lie down for a month.
"You follow my instructions. First find your lower dantian, which is the part of your lower abdomen, but not the real lower abdomen... Don't be obsessed with the flesh. You have to know that our body actually corresponds to another small world, just like the country. In this place, there is a real life force, born by destiny. Do you know the embryo during pregnancy? It is the life force contained in the fetal period, the starting point of all life." And Shitou began to explain slowly.
To convert the luck method of the world into the language of this world, some translation skills are still needed, and Shitou also needs some thinking.
In this way, the teaching began.
Shitou taught him some luck methods from the world. These are all genuine cultivation methods. Although the grade is not high, they are much stronger than the primitive meditation method of this world.
The method used by the world is to store the required qi in a specific way according to their own way. This storage method is the qi they send out at will. The amount of qi is the depth of their cultivation.
This is not a warehouse-like accumulation, but a very difficult thing. How to stuff more qi in without disorder is a technical job. Many people who don’t play this set well will explode and die directly.
As for the specific storage limit, depending on the development level of the method and the perfection of the way, the cultivation that can be stored in the body of the practitioners of the world is generally 10,000 to 100 million times more than that of the natives.
This is not a joke, there is such a big gap, but cultivation does not represent combat power, magical powers and magic are the manifestation of combat power. The natives also generally have their own special skills, but the combat power gap with the world's practitioners is still quite obvious.
Of course, in general, the world above the third level will not be called "natives" by the world, because the world above the third level is actually quite powerful, and generally has autonomy. It is not a simple resource world. The strong and genius produced in it can also show their faces in the world.
As for this seventh-level world... their primitive meditation method is really... quite primitive.
It is almost rough, using muscle training to train their souls, that is, to squeeze the souls hard, squeeze them to death, and then wait for the body to recover slowly, and then slowly become stronger.
After the soul is strong, it will forcibly grab the many "qi" in the surrounding environment and temporarily piece together a magic, completely ignoring the existence of the human body's small world, and the efficiency is extremely low.
They hardly use the human body's small world, and their cultivation is almost equivalent to the energy density around them.
However, when competing in combat power at a low level, the advantage of cultivation is extremely huge.
Shen Shuibi once told Li Qi that cultivation and supernatural powers are actually the "base" and "coefficient", and these two numbers determine the level of combat power. (See Chapter 165 for details)
And at this moment when it is not in the grade, it happens to be the time when the base of cultivation has the greatest effect.
Shitou feels that he can really cultivate a local big shot.
(The wound hurts, and the back of the head is cramped.)
(It's the end of the month, please vote for the month, everyone, it would be better to add more on the first day after a thousand votes, it's already more than 700.)
