"How's it going, Xiaolong? I'm pretty good at using the Five Elements Spear Formation!" Li Ran said with a smile after letting Lingzhou go and actually having no other way to deal with it.
But what greeted Li Ran was a barrage of scolding from the Nine-Colored Little Dragon: "Bad, very bad, totally unpresentable. Your burst of power is too crude. To say it's bad is flattering you. Or rather, the word bad can no longer be used to describe it. Your burst of power technique is so poor that it's hard to describe in words..."
"That's impossible. I'm only in the Spirit Severing Stage and I killed a Fusion Stage cultivator in one blow. Is that normal? Are you trying to suppress me and tell me not to be proud?" Li Ran was very puzzled, a little bewildered and unconvinced.
"Hmph, don't think that I'm suppressing you on purpose. How long did it take you to cultivate to the Spirit Severing stage? How come your control of strength is so crude?" The nine-colored little dragon swam out from Li Ran's soul space, swimming around in front of him with an air of superiority.
"Well, although I have only been practicing for... more than fifty years, even if I suppress it to the same level as others, no one can be my opponent!" Li Ran was puzzled.
"How much?" The nine-colored little dragon roared, his eyes widened, his eyeballs almost bulging out, his face full of doubt and nostalgia for life.
"What do you mean 'how much'? You are trying to scare me!" Li Ran patted his chest, looking as if you did it on purpose.
"Don't talk first. Let me ask you, how much have you practiced so far?" The Nine-Colored Little Dragon still had a dazed expression.
"It's been more than fifty years." Li Ran thought to himself after saying this.
It shouldn't be too unbelievable, reaching the seventh level of the Spirit Severing Stage in twenty years is almost equivalent to the geniuses who remain on the ordinary list on Blue Star.
Li Ran felt that if he told Xiaolong that he had only been practicing for less than a year, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. Facts proved that he was right. This reaction was too exaggerated.
"Actually, I know that my talent is average. Many people of my age have already reached the Tribulation Stage, the Mahayana Stage, or even the Human Immortal Stage. But I know that talent is not absolute, and hard work is the most important thing. I myself have worked hard step by step to finally reach my current level of cultivation. Alas..." Li Ran sighed.
"I feel like you are lying to me, and the evidence is solid!" The nine-colored little dragon was still stunned and extremely shocked. Except for its mouth, all other parts of its body were motionless, like a sculpture.
"Why would I lie to you? I have really worked hard. Although it took me fifty years of practice to reach my current level, I believe that I will definitely catch up with those geniuses who have surpassed me in the future. I firmly believe that hard work is everything. My destiny is in my own hands, and the one who laughs last is the one!" Li Ran frowned deeply, with a serious look on his face.
The Nine-Colored Little Dragon glanced at Li Ran and said silently:
“There is no time in cultivation, yet it has been a thousand years in this world!
Boy, do you know how long it takes for an average person to reach the Spirit Severing stage?"
Li Ran was a little embarrassed. Wasn't he low-key enough?
"Um, the Spirit Severing Stage is the seventh level... Um, it should take an average person seventy to eighty years, an average genius fifty to sixty years, and an even more extraordinary person twenty to thirty years, or even ten to twenty years. Although I'm far behind those extraordinary geniuses, I..." The more Li Ran spoke, the more he realized that the Nine-Colored Little Dragon's expression was not right, as if you were speaking sincerely, but the other party didn't believe it at all.
Li Ran couldn't help but feel angry and said: "I'm serious, although it took me fifty years to cultivate to the Spiritual Severing Stage, I will definitely be able to cultivate to the Human Immortal Stage and become an Immortal in the future!"
The Nine-Colored Little Dragon rolled his eyes at Li Ran and said slowly:
"Let me tell you some common sense about cultivators..."
"There is no time in cultivation, but it has been a thousand years in the world!"
"This saying has a long history in the world of cultivation. It means that once a person goes against the will of heaven and cultivates his true self, time loses all meaning in front of him!"
The Nine-Colored Little Dragon looked at Li Ran's puzzled expression and said:
"For ordinary people, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is considered to have truly entered the realm of cultivation. The difference between the Qi Refining stage and ordinary people is not that great! Only when you reach the Golden Core stage can you be considered a master, and those in the Nascent Soul stage can become the founder of a sect!
Although I don't know what's wrong with you, and I can't check your bones now, but you should know that there is no time in cultivation. Even if it is the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, each level of cultivation will consume endless years!
Boy, do you know how many years it takes to advance to the next level in the Qi Refining Stage?
Li Ran blinked and shook her head. Silence was the best choice at this time.
"Let me explain this to you. For cultivators who reach the Qi Refining Stage, they have the opportunity to comprehend the way to immortality. For the first three stages, they hold spirit stones and eat fasting pills. Generally, they can advance one level after a year of hard practice!
Each of the fourth to sixth levels takes three to four years, and each of the seventh to ninth levels, even if one practices day and night without food or drink, will still take ten years!"
"Fuck, this is impossible. Are the aptitudes in the cultivation world so poor? That's not right. In my hometown, no matter how poor it is, it can't take so long!" Li Ran exclaimed.
Now it was the Nine-Colored Little Dragon's turn to be shocked again: "Boy, is what you just said true? Your hometown is not as bad as I said?"
Li Ran naturally knew that there was something unusual about this, but he was not afraid that the Nine-Colored Dragon had other thoughts. Although it refused to call Li Ran master, it actually had imprinted his soul mark on it. As long as his original body and clone were not completely destroyed, no one else could claim it as master.
"Yes, in my hometown, even the worst aptitude, even those with inferior spiritual roots that can't even reach the lower grade, can easily reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage in a few years. Breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage is a bit more difficult, but it's actually not that difficult. As long as you have the Foundation Establishment Pill, you can easily pass it. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Golden Core Stage is not difficult either. Only the Nascent Soul Stage is a bit difficult..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, don't say anymore!" The nine-colored little dragon had a dull look in his eyes, his mind was blank, and he didn't know whether he wanted to go deeper or was just in a daze.
I don't know how much time passed, the nine-colored little dragon turned his back and murmured to Li Ran:
"There is no time in cultivation, but it has been a thousand years in the world!"
"...a hundred years to build the foundation, five hundred years to make the golden elixir, a thousand years to become the Nascent Soul, five thousand years to leave the body, and ten thousand years to become a god..."
"This can only be achieved by cultivators with higher talents, while people with average talents will need a much longer time. That's why there is a saying that cultivation has no time, and it has been practiced for thousands of years in the world!" After the Nine-Colored Little Dragon finished speaking, he turned around and stared at Li Ran.
"Fuck, this has to be fake, how can it be so exaggerated? Is cultivation really that difficult? Compared to my Blue Star, this is far behind the slowest place in cultivation!" Li Ran was extremely shocked.
"Really, even more real than pearls. Like I said earlier, only someone who is considered a genius among ordinary people would need such speed!
It would take an average person a hundred years to build a foundation to reach that level.
First, this can only be achieved by practicing diligently day and night without eating or drinking.
Second, you must have enough fasting pills. It is impossible to reach the fasting level during the Qi Refining Stage, so you must continue to take fasting pills.
Third, you must always have low-grade spirit stones on hand, but if you don’t have any background, how can you possibly have spirit stones to maintain your cultivation for a hundred years!
Boy, do you understand now?"
After hearing this, Li Ran murmured, "Oh my God, this is too scary!"
