Chapter 552 Hiding and causing 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 will be 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 gems are, the more valuable they are. They also like to cut the gems into polyhedrons to improve the optical properties and make the gems more sparkling.
Although this dark-yellow stone is beautiful, its transparency is very low and it is considered a worthless miscellaneous stone. It has also been polished into a round cake shape, making it impossible to continue cutting.
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, 'war', the conflict is not limited to written exams. After the two of them got 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 quickly went to persuade the only senior instructor of the institute, saying that the two outstanding apprentices were both very good, and there was no need to decide the winner. The apprentices did not have many resources, so they might as well give them two places.
But the senior instructor didn't even look at it, turned around and left, leaving behind a light words: "I only need one."
So, there was only fighting.
On one side are noble children who have received combat training since childhood and have perfected both theory and practice.
On the other side are the ugly ducklings from the countryside. Even their theoretical knowledge is useless for attacking bad men.
The result is clear.
He does know a lot of theories, but combat training is very expensive, and he doesn't have that much money to buy courses.
Without training, he would definitely be hung up and beaten.
Lu De was beaten so hard that he could hardly move. His injuries were so serious that he had to lie in bed for more than a month. Six bones were broken. In the end, the opponent almost beat him to death.
One reason for being able to survive is that Teacher Jin stopped the battle in time, and another reason is that Shitou took action and stopped the aftermath.
At the end of the battle, Teacher Jin announced the opponent's victory, gave the opponent a spot, and then quickly hugged Lu De and sent him to the doctor.
At the doctor's office, Teacher Jin didn't know what to comfort him, so the old man just gave him a few words of encouragement, telling him not to take it to heart and not to worry about money. He had already paid for the consultation fee and medicine.
Afterwards, Lu De said to Teacher Jin: "Don't worry...Teacher Jin, I know that my advantage is learning. Fighting cannot be learned in a short time. I will work harder in the future and wait until I am qualified as a tutor." To make amends, it won’t delay the current matter.”
Teacher Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if you think about it this way. Don't worry. You two have different conditions, but your future achievements will not be lower than his. Don't give up on yourself."
"I know." Lu De nodded hard, forcing himself not to moan.
It hurts, the broken bone.
Teacher Jin didn't stay long. After all, he was actually very busy. He left quickly.
Only Lu De was left lying on the hospital bed.
He lay in bed for a whole hour, not saying a word or sleeping, just staring.
An hour later, he held the jade pendant on his chest.
"I want your knowledge," he said.
"Our deal has been concluded in ten days. I have never skimped on the knowledge I gave you, right?" Shitou said, with almost no fluctuation.
"I will give you all those crystals. How can I convert them into energy that you can use?" Lu De said again.
However, Shitou did not continue to bluff, but said seriously: "Don't be carried away by anger. Without a calm Taoist heart, you will not be able to find what you really want, and you will not be able to find what you really want." Yes, practice and study will become pure torture for you."
"Learning and practicing are happy things in themselves, but when you are forced to do it by emotions or life, the torture they turn into is extremely painful. This kind of pain will make you lose your determination to pursue the path, and ultimately do nothing. "
Hearing Shitou's words, Lu De was stunned for a moment.
There was another silence, and after a while, Lu De asked in a tone he had never heard before: "Are you really a high-level mentor?"
"In other words, I am stronger than all the high-level mentors in this world and more qualified to hold this title than them." Shitou replied seriously.
"Can you teach me?" Lu De asked.
‘Teach me’ and ‘give me knowledge’ may seem to be the same, but in fact they are vastly different.
Of course Shitou understood the implication behind the words, 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 transaction."
"You are much more honest than I thought. You don't look like a devil bewitching your soul." Lu De sighed.
"I am not originally, my purpose is very simple." Shitou said.
Lu De nodded slightly, but immediately grinned due to the pain.
Unknowingly, he was no longer so defensive about stones, and could already show his teeth in front of them.
After he recovered, he said: "I didn't believe it before, but... now I kind of believe it."
Shitou was noncommittal about this attitude, but continued: "Just believe it. Your current state 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 method. It's luck... ahem, it's a way to control the blood in your body, which can speed up your body's healing and make you better physically."
"Okay, what should we do?" Lu De agreed immediately.
He didn't want to really lie down for a month.
"You follow my instructions. First find your lower Dantian, which is the area on your lower abdomen, but it is not the real lower abdomen... Don't be attached to the physical body. You have to know that our body actually corresponds to another small world. Just like the kingdom, there is real vitality in this place, which is born by destiny. Do you know that the embryo during pregnancy is the life force contained in the fetus, the starting point of all vitality. "And the stone begins. Explain slowly.
If you want to translate the world's luck method into the language of this world, you still need some translation skills, and it also requires some thinking for Shitou.
Just like that, the teaching began.
Shitou taught him some luck methods from all over the world. These are genuine cultivation techniques. Although they are not of high grade, they are much better than the primitive meditation methods in this world.
The method used by Tianxia is to store the required Qi in a specific way according to their own way. This storage method is the Qi they release casually. The amount of Qi is the depth of their cultivation.
This is not a warehouse-like savings, but a very difficult thing. How to stuff more air into it without causing chaos is a very technical job. Many people just explode and die if they don’t do this well. .
As for the specific upper limit of storage, depending on the degree of development of the technique and the degree of perfection of the Tao, the amount of cultivation that practitioners in the world can store in their bodies will generally range from 10,000 to 20,000 to hundreds of millions times more than that of the natives.
This is no joke, there really is such a big gap, but cultivation level does not represent combat power, magical powers and spells are the expression of combat power. Aboriginal people generally have their own special skills, but there is a gap in combat power with practitioners all over the world. Still quite obvious.
Of course, in general, people in the world will not call the worlds above the third level "indigenous", because the worlds above the third level are actually quite powerful. They generally have autonomy. It is not a simple world of resources. The strong people produced in it are And geniuses can also come to the world to show their faces.
As for this seventh-level world...their primitive meditation method is really...quite primitive.
It's almost crude. To train your soul in the same way as muscle training is to squeeze your soul hard, squeeze it to the point of death, and then wait for your body to slowly recover, so that you can slowly become stronger.
After the soul is strong, it then forcibly seizes a lot of 'qi' from the surrounding environment and temporarily puts it together into a spell, completely ignoring the existence of the small world of the human body, and is extremely inefficient.
They hardly make use of the small world of their bodies, and their cultivation is almost equal to the energy density around them.
However, when competing for combat power at a low level, the advantage of cultivation is extremely huge.
Shen Shuibi once told Li Qi that cultivation and magical powers are actually the 'base number' and the 'coefficient'. These two numbers determine the level of combat power. (See Chapter 165 for details)
At this moment, when you are not in the top grade, it happens to be the time when the base of cultivation has the greatest effect.
Shitou felt that he could really train a local big shot.
(The wound hurts, and the back of my head feels cramped.)
