Chapter 160: The Innate Powerhouse
The old man was the eighteenth master. He looked at Ji Wenyu who was getting closer and showed a kind smile and said, "Xiaoyu, is the holiday on the festival? When will he come back?"
Ji Wenyu said as she walked: "Well, I arrived at my house the night before yesterday. I didn't have time to go on a blind date with my sister yesterday. Today I came to see the master."
"I am a lonely old man and you can see anything. If you can remember me..."
The Eighteenth Master, with a kind smile on his face, suddenly stopped talking, and he said in surprise: "Xiao Yu, you seem to be a little different from before. Well, it seems that you are practicing martial arts, right? But it is a little different from other warriors. What's going on?"
Master Yuzheng and Chen Changsheng could see the difference between Ji Wenyu, and Master Eighteen could see it even more. However, with his rich experience as an innate master, he could not even see Ji Wenyu's true cultivation. This matter was too strange, so he seemed so surprised.
"Master, are you also a warrior?" Ji Wenyu asked.
The Eighteenth Master seemed to have no intention of hiding his plan and sighed: "Yes, I am not only a warrior, but also a senior in the eyes of others. I am also a master. Unfortunately, I can never find a suitable successor to the robe."
"Why did I never know?" Ji Wenyu said.
The eighteenth master smiled and said, "You don't know that you have not paid attention to this aspect. When you and my brother were young, I specifically asked the villagers to enlighten you, but you two have no certainty and cannot endure that hardship. In addition, your qualifications are average, I have put off your mind to practice martial arts. I originally thought you would never be on the path of a warrior in your life, but I didn't expect that you would have such a big change after only half a year. It's really a blessing to make people."
Jijiazhuang is located near Songshan in the north, which is also considered a martial arts hometown. There are many people in the village who know martial arts, but most of them are fake styles of three-legged cats, and some of them have some skills.
Ji Wenyu remembered that when he was a child, a village elder tried to teach them children. Ji Wenyu and Ji Wenlin also practiced for a few days at first, but at that time, their living conditions gradually improved. Who would still practice in winter and summer every day? After a few days of learning, they ran away after the freshness, and they couldn't even catch them. In the end, there was no one who really learned it.
It is normal to think about it now. It is normal for people in the past to endure hardships, be willing to work hard, and be beaten to death by naughty things. Nowadays, young people are like treasures, who will suffer that hard? Ji Wenyu just took a shortcut and became an immortal cultivator. If he wanted to practice hard for decades to achieve the level of dark energy, he would probably have given up halfway.
But now it is different. He has a brighter future than others and can see his own future. Now he has gradually developed the habit of cultivation and has the courage to overcome all difficulties, so he will naturally not retreat.
Ji Wenyu asked again: "Has the master not accepted only one apprentice over the years? If that were the case, wouldn't it be a pity that this skill was lost?"
The eighteenth master looked sad and said, "I have also spread the word for two registered disciples, but their qualifications are very poor. I haven't learned anything for decades, so it's better not to mention it."
Judging from the tone of Master Eighteen, it is probably because the two disciples did not even reach the level of Huajin. A innate strong man, who is admired by countless warriors, and has the support of excellent elixirs, the disciples he taught are not even the Grandmaster Huajin, and anyone feels embarrassing.
Master Eighteen asked again: "I remember there was nothing unusual when you came to see me last time. Even I couldn't see through it in just a few months. What did you encounter during this period? How could there be such a big change?"
Ji Wenyu was afraid of scaring the master, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, and said half-truely: "I'm not very clear. A few months ago, we dug a pill on the construction site, but I accidentally swallowed it. After that, I washed the marrow and walked to the present without realizing it."
Ji Wenyu said it simply, but there have been storms in the heart of the Eighteenth Master. Just a pill can make people become a warrior? I am afraid that only the legendary immortal cultivator can do this? The Eighteenth Master is a congenital strongman, and his cultivation level reaches this level, the more he knows. As for the legendary immortal cultivator, he has heard of it, but he has only heard of it, but he has never seen the so-called immortal cultivator.
When Master Eighteen heard this news, he was not jealous at all. He was just glad, that is, Xiaoyu was lucky. If the pill was wrapped with poison or something that harmed people, wouldn’t he even give up his life? I guess he was just a mistake at that time. Who would have thought that digging a pill would have such a big effect?
It is also false to say that there is no envy. Who doesn’t want to get such an opportunity and improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds? But he also knows that he is too old, in his nineties, is almost at the end of his life, and he will never have any potential in his life.
Although I am a powerful person innate, I am only in the early stage of innate cultivation, and my lifespan cannot be separated from the scope of ordinary people. Even if I can get any magic pill, I will at most improve my cultivation level one or two levels, which will not be of substantial help to me. As I grow older, my cultivation has been stagnant in recent years, and my cultivation may gradually regress until I reach the end of my life.
So the Eighteenth Master had already seen it, and he had no extravagance in his life, and he only hoped to spend the rest of his life safely. This is also the reason why he lived alone in seclusion in this small valley planting medicine and farming and studying alchemy techniques, and never went out again.
However, now the Eighteenth Master has a new goal, because he discovered that Xiaoyu had taken the path of a warrior by chance. And judging from his current appearance, it seems that even his qualifications have changed a lot. Although he is a little late to practice martial arts now, if he uses more thoughts and trains carefully, even if he cannot achieve his own achievements in his life, he can still become a master. My Ji family is a successor.
Thinking of this, Master Eighteen couldn't help but be happy and smiled, "Haha, so that's it. Although you didn't practice martial arts when you were a child, your foundation was still there at that time. It was normal to become a warrior without realizing it. So what kind of cultivation is your current level?"
"I've been stuck in the dark energy realm for a long time." Ji Wenyu said.
The fact that cultivating immortals is too horrible is also the biggest secret in Ji Wenyu's heart. Since the Eighteenth Master thinks he is a warrior, Ji Wenyu did not explain it deliberately. In this way, he was worried that he would scare the master to the truth, so he had to give some discounts on his cultivation level and say that he was in the dark energy realm. Anyway, this is not wrong. He was indeed stuck in the dark energy realm for a long time. Yesterday morning, he was still at the sixth level of the meridian realm, and only broke through to the seventh level in the afternoon.
