Chapter 239: Choosing
After spending a day inside the cave, the next day Han Li stood in front of Mr. and Mrs. Li Huayuan again and heard this master say faintly, “Han Li, have you thought about what you want your master to give? Now you can talk about it!”
”Disciple wants a technique that suits his cultivation, and I hope that Master will be able to fulfill it!” This was simply nothing to think about, Han Li, who had long had an answer in mind, immediately blurted it out.
Hearing this, Li Huayuan didn’t reveal a look of surprise, but instead gave a slight smile to the young woman to the side, meaning: how about it, I wasn’t wrong, what you want is indeed a merit law!
Only then did he turn back to Han Li and said calmly, ”Well, this is a good choice of yours! Come closer and let Master check out your spiritual root attributes before deciding what technique to bestow upon you.”
Hearing this, Han Li didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately came up. He was then grabbed by the other party’s wrist, and a hot current quickly flowed within his meridians.
”Other than metallic, all other attribute techniques can be cultivated well! Surprisingly, it would be a four-attribute Spiritual Root, this really surprises me! On that day, I also saw that your spiritual roots were mixed only from the skin, but I didn’t expect it to be to such an extent!” After Li Huayuan probed for a moment, his face was slightly odd as he said with a light sigh.
The young woman listened on the sidelines, also revealing less unexpected colors, although she did not open her mouth to speak, she could not help but measure Han Li a few more times.
”Disciple’s qualifications are inferior, letting Master down!” Han Li said with a slight blush on his face, somewhat ashamed.
”This is nothing, since the heavens have allowed you to succeed in building your foundation, this will surely be your own creation. It’s just that in this case, the selection of feats can be a bit troublesome!”
”What do you mean?” Han Li blinked at these words, and although he didn’t take the initiative to ask about it, the puzzled look on his face still showed without a doubt!
”You really are, just give your disciple a good talking to. Always so clueless! In fact, what your master means is that he originally wanted to pick a good gongfu for you, but now that he sees your spiritual root attribute, he is a bit hesitant again! After all, the better the technique, the harder it is to cultivate, so it would be better to give you a simpler technique that will allow you to advance a bit faster!” The young woman scolded Li Huayuan, then explained to Han Li in a warm voice.
”Not bad, what the lady said is what I wanted to say.” Li Huayuan nodded repeatedly. But then, he went on to explain in detail, “You must know that the techniques cultivated by Immortal Cultivators such as myself. According to their power and effects, they can be roughly categorized into three types! One category is after cultivation. The rate of mana refinement is average or even slightly lower, but the magical powers and means of defeating the enemy that come with them are often powerful and unusual. In actual combat is like a fish out of water, in the mana is still at a low level, can force to overcome the high level of cultivators. Therefore cultivators who know that they have no hope of attaining dan in this life have mostly chosen to cultivate this type of technique.”
”The second category is just the opposite, the effect of these techniques in refining mana is very amazing, easy to fix and practice, and the chances of encountering bottlenecks are far less than those cultivators who chose to cultivate the first category of techniques. However, there are gains and losses, the advantages of the first type of technique are precisely the fatal flaws of this type of technique. Basically, these types of techniques do not have any powerful means of self-protection, and their magical abilities are even more pitifully small! Basically, as long as you choose to cultivate this kind of technique, it is destined to be the future of the cultivation career. Can only become the same level of cultivators in the weak. But likewise, those who want to pursue the higher levels of the Immortal Cultivation Ground and delude themselves into marching into the Heavenly Dao, there are not a few who elect to cultivate this kind of spells, after all, they are the easiest for cultivators to get close to the JieDan Stage.”
When Li Huayuan said this, he paused for a moment and suddenly smiled as he rushed towards Han Li and said, “I wonder, what kind of spells would you choose, or do you think that type of spells are more suitable for you?”
Upon hearing this, Han Li froze for a moment and couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment as he asked, “Master, aren’t there three types, why did you only say two?”
Hearing Han Li’s question, Li Huayuan smiled heartily with the young woman before saying to Han Li with a kind face, “Indeed, in addition to the first two categories, there are also the existence of some very few third category techniques, and these are the top-ranked cultivation techniques that are sought after by many cultivators. However, Master does not recommend you to cultivate them! And none of your seven senior brothers have chosen to cultivate these types of techniques either! Although they have concentrated the strengths of the first two types of techniques, both powerful and amazingly refined mana. But cultivate them, not only the conditions of many restrictions, difficult, and cultivation process is also very dangerous, a careless will fall into a thousand times! Your master’s mother cultivated the top-ranked techniques, and as a result of being so careful, she still almost died, so cultivators who aren’t far more qualified than others, cultivating them and committing suicide aren’t that far off!”
”Although I also have these two or three top rank gong methods in my hands, but do you think it’s possible to succeed if you think you’re practicing them? Of course, since this merit law is to compensate you, if you must choose to cultivate a top rank merit law, my master will also give it to you, but if any dangers or difficulties arise in the future, you will have to rely on yourself to solve them!”
Li Huayuan clearly disapproved of Han Li choosing to cultivate the last class of techniques, so he warned Han Li in advance.
Han Li frowned and lowered his head in bitter thought; this was indeed a difficult choice. However, it didn’t take long for Han Li to raise his head with a calm expression in his eyes, clearly having made his decision.
”Master, please forgive my disciple’s rudeness! Before my disciple states his request, can I ask what technique Master cultivates?” Han Li suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
”Heh! Master’s cultivation is the top-ranked technique, True Yang Decree, but Master himself is the body of the Three Yangs that is second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Roots, so cultivating this technique is like a fish out of water, and instead, it’s far superior to the other techniques! Otherwise, how could my master have formed the Golden Dan?” Although Li Huayuan did not expect Han Li to ask this question, he still said proudly.
”Disciple understands, then I’ll choose to cultivate the second category of techniques!” Han Li said with a calm expression.
”The second category?” Li Huayuan’s complexion moved slightly, but he returned to his normal color in an instant and re-examined Han Li for a few moments with an intriguing gaze. The young woman on the side also revealed a rather interested expression when she heard this.
”You chose to cultivate the second category, what can I say? The heart to cultivate Immortality is so firm, this is very gratifying to me. However, you should know that the so-called mana is easy to fix and practice, that is also for those who have better qualifications, and even if they have outstanding qualifications like this, those who can cultivate the second type of technique to the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment are only a minority portion of them. Therefore, my master still favors you to choose to cultivate the first type of gongfu, so that although the hope of forming a dan is very slim, but at least it will allow you to raise your eyebrows and not be bullied by others amongst the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. In fact, no matter which type of gong method is cultivated, how many people can be able to conjugate dan ah! Think about when ……”
Li Huayuan originally wanted to persuade Han Li a bit, but said, seems to recall what past events, the mood of a heavy up, actually gradually shut up!
On the contrary, the side of the young woman to see this scene, sighed lightly, then said to Han Li: “Han Li, you can think well, really want to choose to repair this kind of technique? Although you choose to cultivate is not quite right for me and your master’s mind, but your heart to cultivate immortality is really so firm then, your master naturally will not oppose. If you are not self-conscience must choose to cultivate the top-ranked techniques, my couple, although also will be the same promise, but let us too disappointed. After all, that wouldn’t be a matter of whether or not one’s heart is firm in cultivating Immortality, but rather too over-ambitious.”
”Not bad, your master’s wife has stated what’s on my master’s mind. Master will not say anything more, now I will only ask you once more, have you really decided?” Li Huayuan came back to his senses just in time to hear the young woman’s words, so he nodded his head in approval.
”Yes, disciple’s resolve has been made!” Han Li quietly listened to the words of Li Huayuan and his wife before saying in a deep voice.
”Well, since you’ve truly made up your mind, then follow me to the book collection room. Your Ladyship will wait here for a moment for the time being, Han Li and I will be back in a while.” Seeing this, Li Huayuan didn’t say anything else, so he got up and took Han Li out, while leaving the young woman to stay here and wait.
The library was not far from the hall, nor was it very large, it was just a flat, short, ordinary stone room, but the entire room was protected by a fiery red boundary, so that onlookers could not enter at all.
Li Huayuan walked to the front of the boundary, without caring, stretching out a finger to the boundary on a casual stroke, the boundary immediately separated a zhang wide mouth, just so that the two people passed through side by side.
Then he easily pushed open the stone door and brought Han Li into the stone room.
Once inside, Han Li’s eyes were opened wide. Because inside the stone room, all kinds of jade slips, pages, boxes, books, all suspended in the air, emitting colorful and strange light, there were as many as fifty to sixty pieces, these were the cultivation techniques that Li Huayuan had collected through various means over the centuries.
”Every single thing here, has been placed under a ban by me, if it is not picked by me and my lady personally, it will immediately trigger the formation within the stone room, trapping the future person alive in this place.” Li Huayuan somewhat smugly explained to Han Li, but Han Li still heard a hint of a warning within, so he nodded his head repeatedly to indicate that he knew.
