On the Importance of Chinese Characters

Zhuang Yunzhou's banquet became famous in Baopu Palace.

After returning, the disciples who participated in the banquet described the whole banquet vividly, such as the peach blossoms, the novel and interesting serving mode, the delicious refreshments and drinks, and the extraordinarily comfortable and considerate feeling...

And all kinds of treasures seen at the Treasure Appraisal Conference are even more eloquent, not to mention the twists and turns of the development of the third-level innate source treasure that Xia Yuxing took out.

Not only are the people speaking enthusiastically and drooling, but the eyes of those listening are also shining. When they heard that Zhuang Yunzhou deciphered the usage of the Yuanbao with one click, their mouths grew wide in amazement, and then they heard him make a series of tricks. When the two usages are used, it is even more amazing. I wish I could use my body to see the scene at that time.

Of course, no matter how lively it is, it's just lively, and it's fine for those who listen to it. After all, it has nothing to do with me, and it's just pure envy.However, a few days later, when rumors spread that the disciples surnamed Kong and Luo who had attended the banquet were valued by Qingcang and Jingliu, the disciples at the bottom couldn't sit still.

This is a major matter related to the future of cultivation!The apprentice acceptance ceremony is fair, but there are too many people participating. Even if you perform well, if you are unlucky and don't get noticed, it is common for you to lose the election.Therefore, in previous conferences, it is not only about skills, but sometimes some luck is needed.

Having such an extra banquet is equivalent to an extra platform for the participating disciples to show themselves. If they can get into the eyes of the senior brothers of Zhufeng in advance and be recommended to the peak master and elders, then as long as the performance is not bad , was accepted as a disciple, basically stable.

As for the disciples on the gold and silver sides of the peaks, the next meeting set by Zhuang Yunzhou is the most important thing.

And Zhuang Yunzhou chose wood control as the first research target.

Each Chinese character has its own unique origin and development.However, the Tianling clan can't accurately distinguish the origin techniques formed by words with similar meanings, so most of them are collectively referred to as wood control skills, fire control skills, wind control skills, and soil control skills...

In Baopu Palace, in addition to the Zuyuan with the character 'Yu', there are three Zuyuan hidden in the Tuoyuan Pavilion on the tenth floor, and the Zuyuan with the characters "Ku" and the Zuyuan with the word "Feng". The surviving one is the ancestor of the word 'wood'.

Therefore, many disciples in the palace use the 'wood' character origin technique.It's just that the congenital source treasures born from the ancestors each year far supply such a large number of people. Therefore, if many disciples encounter other wood-controlling source treasures when they are practicing outside, they will not wait in vain. vacancy within.

This has led to the fact that although they are all able to control wood, some people seem to have something wrong with the skills and experience of the predecessors about wood control when they go to the hidden stone pavilion to exchange.Using the origin technique is not as good as others.

Zhuang Yunzhou planned to use this to slowly correct the rough classification of origin arts in the palace and even the spirit clan.

He gave an official name to the conference to be held next - "Baopu Yuanshu Research and Exploration Conference".

No one knew that this conference, which was not attended by many people when it was first held in Baopu Palace, became an important milestone in the history of the study of the origin of the spirit race.

??

Xiang Yanming was an abandoned baby brought back by Baopu's disciples. He grew up to be 20 years old in Baopu Palace. Because of his mediocre aptitude, Kaiyuan failed several times.Even the elders of the Nursery School tactfully advised him not to establish a good relationship with the deacons in the deacon hall. Instead of insisting on practicing, it is better to go to Baopu Palace and get Shifang to be a small steward.

But Xiang Yanming was not reconciled. He grew up in Baopu Palace, and watched countless senior brothers and sisters who came out of the kindergarten run across the country, calling wind and rain, setting fires and trees, and their lives were magnificent.Going to the market to work as a steward can indeed provide a comfortable life, but his life is too mediocre, not the life he wants.

Xiang Yanming gritted his teeth and did not give up.

He knew in his heart that with his own aptitude, it would be impossible for Zuyuan to pity him and bestow the innate source treasure, so he simply relied on the palace points accumulated from doing odd jobs at Deacon Peak all these years to exchange for a sixth-level wood-type source treasure with his senior brother. Finally, on the fourth attempt, relying on this Origin Treasure Qiyuan succeeded, and became a wood-controlling Origin Sorcerer.

However, I don't know what went wrong. The wood control technique he uses is always less than half of the power of others, and he always becomes the one who is hindered when he goes on missions with others. As time goes by, no one is willing to fight He's on a mission together.

This made Xiang Yanming very frustrated, and finally doubted his original decision.He once thought that if he took the palace points that he had exchanged for Yuanbao, would he not have to be so cold-eyed now?

"...Amin, you are also very diligent and obedient, but we really have enough people this time. Why don't you try to find someone else?"

"Why are you being so euphemistic with him? You should tell him directly that he is not strong enough, and we just don't want a burden."

"He is not suitable to be a source artist at all!"

Maybe...he is really not suitable to be an origin artist.

Xiang Yanming sat in the courtyard looking at the sky for a while, finally gritted his teeth, pushed open the courtyard door, and was about to go to Deacon Peak to find the deacon elder who took good care of him when he was a gatekeeper.

When Xiang Yanming was about to go out, the little boy with the Wangdao Peak badge on his waist stopped him: "But Xiang Yanming, brother Xiang?"

Xiang Yanming looked suspiciously at the little girl who only reached his waist, and nodded hesitantly: "It's me."

The little boy smiled happily with his mouth cracked and missing two teeth. He pulled out a white jade tablet from the storage bag at his waist and held it up: "This is an invitation from our senior brother to senior brother Xiang. After five days, forget about it." Daofeng Xinglin, waiting for senior brother to drive."

Xiang Yanming looked at the immaculate white jade plaque in disbelief, almost feeling like he was in a dream.

In recent days, everyone has been talking about Senior Brother Zhuang’s banquet. I heard that this conference is specifically for wood control techniques. Many fellow students whose origin technique is wood control are looking forward to receiving posts from Senior Brother Zhuang, and many of them are listed below. The well-known outside disciples are all looking forward to receiving posts, becoming famous at this conference, and successfully being accepted by Da Neng.

Xiang Yanming also secretly looked forward to it, but he claimed to be self-aware, and with his ability, it was impossible to receive a post, so he just thought about it and let it go.

Now that he looked at the post that was almost delivered to him, he was a little afraid to accept it.

Seeing that he was only looking at the post fixedly, the little boy tilted his head a little strangely, and tiptoed to send the jade plaque up: "Senior brother, to senior brother..."

Xiang Yanming just woke up from a dream, took the jade tablet with both hands in a panic, and said in an almost incoherent voice: "I... next... I must go, I must go on time!"

The little boy nodded cutely: "I'll go back to senior brother now." Then he bounced away.

Seeing that the little boy's back turned into a small one and was never seen again, Xiang Yanming returned to the courtyard in a daze. As for Deacon Peak, he had long forgotten about it.

The same thing happened to the other three.

And these four people were all messed up by the wood control skills among the outer disciples. After being spread out at this time, everyone found it incredible, and there was a lot of discussion among the outer disciples. They didn't understand Zhuang Yunzhou's selection criteria at all.

Apart from these people, among the outer disciples, Zhuang Yunzhou asked Ren Mianzhi to distribute [-] invitation cards, except that it indicated that the person who held the stickers was someone who controlled wood, but did not specify.He gave a copy to all the disciples in Phnom Penh and Yinbian in the palace who were good at controlling wood.

On the day when the conference was held, a total of 130 people came.

It is also in the Xinglin, but the scenery in the Xinglin is different again this time. The original forest full of pink apricots was removed by Zhuang Yunzhou to an open space.

130 seven pink apricots distributed in a fan shape overlap and hang down their branches full of flowers to weave 130 seven swing chairs, and each row is higher than the other to ensure a clear view of the demonstration platform in front of it.

The invited people arrived one after another holding Zhuang Yunzhou's posts, and most of the women couldn't put it down because of the swing chair full of flowers.The prudent seniors were not used to it, but they all controlled wood. After asking the waiter at the side, they were not polite, brushed their palms, and turned the chairs into the desired shape.

As soon as the time arrived, Zhuang Yunzhou's figure appeared on the demonstration stage in front of him on time.

Everyone stood up and greeted each other, Zhuang Yunzhou invited people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking the time to come. I will take the lead in organizing this Baopu Yuanshu Research and Exploration Meeting, and hope to encourage you all."

After the formulaic opening remarks, Zhuang Yunzhou went directly to the topic: "The main research goal of today's meeting is 'wood control'. There are countless source techniques in the world, and there are many source techniques that rely on controlling vegetation alone. But they are all wood control techniques. Some people use origin techniques that are powerful, while others are very unsatisfactory. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"If it doesn't work well, it's naturally due to the source artist's inability." A voice rang out.

Many others agree.

"Origin masters are not good at it..." Zhuang Yunzhou nodded, "Indeed, the power of origin arts is closely related to that of origin masters."

"But...is it really just a matter of the Origin Master?" He smiled, ignored the doubts surrounding the audience, and raised his voice, "Can I ask Kong Xide and Meng Changshi to stand up?"

Kong Xide and Mengchang looked at each other and stood up.

"As far as I know, the two are from the same sect, except that one learned the wood control technique after washing away the original source technique after apprenticeship, and the other learned the wood control technique first, and then joined the wind master Under Bo's door. Now both of them are masters of the great city, and the realm of spiritual consciousness is the first, and the wood origin technique is four generations, but?"

"Yes."

"Uncle Feng treats everyone equally, and the things he teaches are the same, right?"

"Yes."

"But, when you brothers are fighting each other, Junior Brother Meng is always inferior to Junior Brother Kong, without exception, right?"

"……Correct."

"Could it be that Junior Brother Meng was lazy a few days ago and didn't practice wood control well?"

"No, Junior Brother Meng is the most diligent in his practice. Speaking of it, I think I am not as good as it." Kong Xide replied for the wryly smiling Meng Chang.

Meng Chang sighed: "Maybe it's because my comprehension of wood elements is not as good as senior brother's."

Zhuang Yunzhou shook his head: "I once asked Uncle Feng, and he didn't think that Brother Meng's comprehension is lower than that of Brother Kong."

Feng Fan also said this to Meng Changshi before, but the reality was in front of him, and Meng Changshi only regarded it as the comfort of the master.

Zhuang Yunzhou invited the two of them to sit down: "The realm of cultivation is the same, the level of origin technique is the same, and the level of understanding is almost the same. One is more diligent, but the diligent one is not as good as the other. Can you think about why?"

Yeah, why is that?In the past, everyone rudely attributed the problem to the source artist himself. Maybe it was lack of comprehension, or lack of manipulative power, or lack of combat experience... There are always sayings.

But now, after putting two cases in front of everyone, everyone began to face up to this problem.

"It's because the two juniors didn't use the same kind of origin technique." Zhuang Yunzhou finally said it, causing a huge wave in an instant.
