Practice starts with skill points

"Disciple pays respect to Master."

In the bamboo courtyard, Gu Chen knelt in front of Zhong Lin. His clothes were a little messy, and there was a bloodstain on his chest. It seemed that he had suffered a lot from coming from Linyue County to Jianding Sect.

He had just condensed his blood and qi, but he had to travel thousands of miles on this road. A young man would definitely be worried.

This was also a test for him by Zhong Lin, who wanted to see if Gu Chen was the legendary "protagonist".

"Get up! Does your shoulder still hurt?" Zhong Lin said.

"Ah!"

Gu Chen looked up at Zhong Lin abruptly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Zhong Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I'll ask your master to get ointment later. The arrow wound penetrated the body, so don't hurt your bones and muscles."

Gu Chen subconsciously touched his shoulder, and a pain came over him. He was shot there by a bandit with a bow and arrow when he crossed Songzhu Ridge. But why did Master know?

Gu Yourong on the side said with a smile: "Silly boy, do you really think your master will let you travel thousands of miles alone? You are a young man, and you are only in the Qi and Blood Realm. How can he be at ease?"

Gu Chen looked up at his calm master, his eyes red, and tears almost flowed out.

Since his parents passed away, he has not felt warmth for a long time, and because he has not been able to break through his cultivation, he has suffered endless cold eyes and indifference.

Even if his qualifications were inexplicably restored later, it also made him see through the so-called warmth and coldness of human feelings.

The master accepted him as a disciple, but followed him thousands of miles behind him, always silently protecting him, making him feel the warmth that had been lost again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

No wonder he was always in danger along the way, and it was the master who helped him behind the scenes.

Even if he could see through the warmth and coldness of human feelings, he was just a 15-year-old boy.

He knelt down again with a plop and kowtowed to Zhong Lin again.

"Okay."

Zhong Lin waved his right hand, and an invisible force lifted Gu Chen up.

"Don't act like a little girl. Since you are my disciple, you should be protected by me. Just practice hard in the future."

Gu Chen wiped the tears from his face and nodded heavily, saying, "I will live up to Master's expectations."

"Go! Your aunt has already asked someone to clean up your room. Take care of your injuries in the next few days."

"I'll take my leave."

Gu Chen bowed again and then slowly left the hall.

"Zhong Lin, you are a good disciple. You are also grateful. Moreover, you have condensed your blood at a young age. With your training, you will be able to shine in the future." Gu Yourong praised.

Zhong Lin looked at Gu Chen's back as he left, but an inexplicable divine light flashed in his eyes.

Zhong Lin has indeed been following behind Gu Chen and observing him silently these days. He followed him after solving Han Jin's problem that day.

The more he observed, the more he felt that Gu Chen was a son of luck and had the appearance of a protagonist.

Gu Chen was a troublemaker along the way, and he was in constant trouble. Sometimes, even if you didn't take the initiative, trouble would come to you.

He stayed in a deserted temple overnight and encountered a duel between martial artists, a hero saved a beautiful girl and was involved in a family massacre, and defeated mountain bandits to obtain magic weapons...

He was simply a walking body of disaster, and he was treated like a protagonist!

As for Gu Chen's dangers, he could always escape inexplicably every time he was in danger. All of this was done by himself, and Zhong Lin never took action.

Zhong Lin now didn't know whether it was good or bad to accept him as a disciple.

Needless to say, as the protagonist, he would definitely cause all kinds of troubles, and as a master, he would definitely be implicated, and even be killed by his "lonely star" fate.

There were naturally some benefits. As long as the protagonist didn't die, all kinds of opportunities would jump into his arms. If he was tripped by a stone on the road, it might be a meteorite from outer space. As a master, he could naturally get some light.

Anyway, it was a mixture of good and bad!

Zhong Lin touched his chin and thought to himself, "I doubt that if he is given time in the Black Turtle Continent, he can break through the Lingyuan Realm. Now we have to consider whether to take him to the Falling Star Islands."

If it is in the Black Turtle Continent, Zhong Lin can suppress the troubles no matter how big they are. Even if the son of luck shows off his power, he has to consider the environment. His cultivation in the Lingyuan Realm can still walk sideways in the Black Turtle Continent.

But if it is in the Falling Star Islands, it will be different. Who knows where an old monster will pop out from? The cultivation in the Lingyuan Realm is not good enough. Even if he cultivates the Xuandan, it is possible that a master will come from a wider area.

Don't think it is impossible. Zhong Lin didn't believe it before, but after observing Gu Chen for this period of time, he has to believe it.

You dare to think that you just beat a minion, but it turns out to be a young prince who was stranded outside because of conspiracy.

Fuck, only dramas dare to write like this, it's too bloody.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhong Lin took advantage of the situation and pulled Gu Yourong into his arms, sitting on his thighs. His left hand naturally climbed up the mountain and played with it for a while.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"I'm thinking about whether to take Gu Chen away."

"Is it the secret that even I can't tell?"

Zhong Lin's movements froze, and he looked up and met Gu Yourong's eyes. Damn, he let it slip.

Gu Yourong chuckled, leaned on Zhong Lin, and said softly: "I know you are worried that I will be in danger. I will practice hard and wait for you to come back at home."

……

Time passed slowly. For three months, Zhong Lin basically did not go out again. After feeding Gu Yourong every day, he began to meditate and practice, and condense the spirit essence.

The storage bracelet carried a lot of cultivation resources, so there was no need to worry even in the land of Xuangui Continent, which was short of vitality.

In the second month after returning, Zhong Lin entered the first realm of the extraordinary realm, the Spirit Sea Realm, without any obstacles.

Spirit Sea, Spirit Sea, Spirit Ocean.

Those who practiced the earth-level and above skills could use secret methods to expand the Dantian, while ordinary warriors relied on the help of the Tuohai Pill. The two had different paths and the same purpose. There was no good or bad, but there was a difference in size.

According to Chen Jia's description, the Dantian of the warrior who broke through with the Tuohai Pill expanded by about three to five times, while the breakthrough with the secret method was between five to eight times, which was a huge difference.

This is why the earth-level and above skills are precious. The gap has already begun to appear in the Spirit Sea Realm. It is conceivable that the gap will become larger as time goes by.

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged in the secret room, sensing his Dantian with his mind, and saw that his Dantian had expanded nearly eight times compared to before, giving people a sense of vastness and boundlessness. Before this, it had been filled with spiritual essence, but now it had become a small pond. The quality did not change, but the space became larger, which made it appear smaller in comparison.

"Okay, "Red Flame Art" is worthy of being a mid-level earth-level art. It actually expanded my Dantian nearly eight times."

Zhong Lin was ecstatic. Eight times can be said to have reached the limit of what the secret art can do, and it is more powerful than the warriors who broke through with the Tuohai Pill.

Although the combat power of a warrior is not only based on the realm and the amount of spiritual essence, weapons and martial arts also account for a large proportion, but the strong spiritual essence itself has the greatest advantage.
