Chapter 36: Are you willing to practice body cultivation?
Seeing that she didn't reply, grandma didn't care. She smiled and shook her hand, saying, "Azi, grandma is a coward. I don't dare to take revenge myself, and I have no right to stop others from taking revenge. But grandma hopes that your courage and ability will match."
Tao Zi looked at the "elder" in front of her and said gently: "Grandma, you misunderstood. I am just Tao Zi, the eldest sister of Yisan Sect. Tao Zi has no enemies."
She looked at her in surprise, and looked at her over and over again, before nodding and saying, "Okay, that's good. As long as you can figure it out, that's good. This person is most afraid of not being able to figure it out."
The next day, after the burial, the four of them returned to the sect. The master was sitting casually at the mountain gate, pounding herbs. Noticing them return, he threw down his copper pounder without even looking up, and walked inside. "Yueshan, chop wood and cook; Zhaoxue, go back and rest; Xijing, pound the herbs; Ah Zi, follow me."
Tao Zi said yes and followed. She could still hear Han Yueshan bargaining with Xi Jing behind her: "Xi Jing, good junior sister, you cook the food and I'll chop the wood, okay?"
"Where's the medicine?"
He immediately turned to look at his junior brother and said, "Xiao Xue, this is your medicine!"
Zhao Xue's eyes were bruised and purple, and he was so tired that he didn't even bother to force a smile to his senior brother: "Master told me to rest."
"But……"
"Han Yueshan, if you keep nagging me, I'll go down the mountain and sell peaches!"
Only after the master turned around and yelled at him did he calm down.
The four disciples realized belatedly that their master's mood seemed to be even worse than Zhao Xue's (themselves)?
After entering the study, the master turned around and looked at her, sighing several times.
Tao Zi asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
He pointed to the books on the table and said, "I have read many books, but I can't find a solution."
She looked at the two lonely books on the table and didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"Your spiritual vein."
Tao Zi fell silent. It was possible that a spiritual vein could be restored to its original state after being destroyed, but the possibility was one in a million. She didn't think she had that luck.
The master sighed again and continued, "I've been thinking about it all night and have come up with a solution, but you may not accept it."
"Master, please tell me that I am not so fragile."
He looked at her intently and uttered a word: "Body cultivation. Ah Zi, are you willing to be a body cultivator?"
Tao Zi was stunned. This answer was both unexpected and reasonable.
When she discovered that Xing Zhan's spiritual veins were extremely poor and even building a foundation was quite difficult for him, her first choice for him was also physical cultivation. The reason was very simple.
"Survive first, Ah Zi. As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance to resolve the spiritual vein issue."
Tao Zi was in a trance for a moment after hearing these familiar words. Then, she put away her memories and asked hesitantly, "Master, do you have any method for physical cultivation?"
"certainly."
His answer was so matter-of-fact that it surprised her.
It should be noted that among the cultivators in the world of immortals, the most disgusting and feared are the demonic cultivators, while the most despised are the physical cultivators. One reason is enough - physical cultivators have no possibility of becoming immortals. Even if we go back tens of thousands of years ago when immortals appeared frequently, there was no precedent of physical cultivators becoming immortals.
Even demons can become gods, but physical cultivators cannot, because one of the necessary experiences to become an immortal is to shed the human body and become an immortal body, and the most important reliance of physical cultivators is the flesh body, so how can it be shed?
Therefore, the vast majority of practitioners will not keep the method of physical cultivation. Even those Taoist and Buddhist practitioners who have no talent for cultivation are unwilling to bow their heads to cultivate the body. In their eyes, that is an insult to them.
Seeing Tao Zi's silence, the master thought she was unwilling, so he hesitated and said, "If Ah Zi is unwilling, I will think of another way."
She smiled and shook her head: "No need, Master, just practice physical training."
He looked at his disciple who had made the decision, and he himself was a little undecided. He said, "But... physical training is very painful."
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment. She thought her master was going to talk about the disadvantages of physical cultivation, but she didn't expect it to be this.
The master reminded again: "Few people can persevere through the physical cultivation method. A big reason for this is the pain. The pain is far beyond your imagination."
She laughed dumbly, and after a while she said, "Master, I have agreed, why are you hesitant?"
"Forget it, then let's focus on physical training. You have the right foundation. Your previous injuries would have taken an average person ten days or half a month to recover, but you did it in just a few days."
Tao Zi didn't respond. She thought it might be because she was a cultivator in the past.
Before leaving, the master asked again, "Azi, are you sure you are not afraid of pain?"
"Master, I can bear it."
Not afraid of pain? How is that possible?
When she was young, she scratched her hand with a branch and cried, covering the small bloody wound. Her master, Qinglan Tianzun, was so anxious that he used healing magic and comforted her with peaches, candied haws, and other snacks before she finally stopped crying. Thinking about it now, she couldn't believe that the delicate little girl was herself.
Tao Zi quickly threw away the inappropriate emotions in her heart, pushed the door open and walked out.
Xi Jing was no longer outside. She thought for a moment, walked towards the kitchen, and prepared to see how Han Yueshan was doing.
Before she reached the kitchen door, a cry of "Ah" came from inside. Just as she was about to quicken her pace, a big fish flew out from inside and landed at her feet, bouncing back and forth.
Should she praise the fish for being so energetic?
"Big Sister, why are you here?"
The junior brother rushed out of the kitchen with a few small green leaves on his face, and smiled at her very naturally.
Tao Zi was really curious about what he had done to get the green leaves on his face.
Soon, she found out.
Looking at the bucket in the kitchen containing both vegetables and live fish, and then looking at the vegetables on the chopping board with suspicious small cuts, Tao Zi felt a headache.
"You're still jumping! Try jumping again if you dare!"
Han Yueshan's rare furious voice came from outside. She went out to take a look and saw the fish jumping around. She had finally caught it, but the fish struggled out again.
Tao Zi's head hurt more and more.
"Junior brother."
Han Yueshan stopped catching fish and looked at the senior sister: "Senior sister, what's wrong?"
"Can you tell me, Senior Sister, what level of body training are you at?"
Hearing this question, he puffed out his chest proudly: "Junior brother has reached the fourth level of physical training, and is second only to Master in the sect."
You can't even catch a fish at the fourth level of Body Refining, and yet you're so proud? Tao Zi felt like swearing. She took a deep breath, smiled with difficulty, and said, "Then why can't you catch a fish?"
Han Yueshan scratched his head: "I dare not use force, I'm afraid I can't control my strength."
"Can you let me see how you can't control yourself?"
The next second, a fish was cut in half in front of her, and blood flowed out.
He looked at her innocently: "Senior Sister, look, this is it."
