My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 408: Extraordinary Talent, Struck by Thunder

Yin Li was dazzled and fascinated by what he heard. The spiritual energy in his body surged and he wished he could become one with the Tao and achieve the true body of the Tao right now!

Then he was ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Yan...

"Don't be too ambitious. All the things I said before are my ideas, which means...these are just my inferences. You can use them as a reference. If you take them seriously..."

Jiang Yan paused as if thinking about the consequences, and shook his head in an inexplicable tone:

"I won't even have anywhere to collect your body by then."

Yin Li felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head. The heat in her heart suddenly subsided. She spoke with disbelief on her face and trembling voice.

"Ah? This, this, this! Are these all your inferences? Then why did you say so confidently just now, "My method has at least a 99% success rate"? Aren't you lying?"

"Yes, I am 90% sure, but you are neither my apprentice nor my disciple. Why should I teach you every detail? I am in a good mood today as long as I can tell you the basic theory."

Jiang Yan muttered to himself, but of course he didn't show it on his face.

"Although it's just a theory, I have managed to make it work. It's just that I am a casual cultivator without the support of a sect, so my foundation is shallow. Although I have enough theoretical knowledge, I can't explain it thoroughly with Taoism and magic."

"I do have my own method, but do you dare to listen? Anyway, I don't mind having one more person to experiment with. After all, more people means more materials, which I can use as a reference for comparison experiments."

Yin Li looked at Jiang Yan's serious expression, and her voice became weaker and weaker until it finally died down. She thought to herself, and indeed, if these theories and techniques were really mature and widely promoted, they could almost replace the old methods with the new ones!

This kind of heaven-shaking and heaven-defying act can almost be said to be unprecedented, second only to the ancient sages who first came into contact with the art of spiritual creation!

It is incredible enough that such a profound skill came from a casual cultivator. If he really developed it into a universal practice routine, I really don't know how to describe it.

Even with Yin Li's IQ, she had to doubt the authenticity of Jiang Yan's words "a group of casual cultivators".

Yin Li nodded absentmindedly, this was the only way it made sense. Because independent cultivators had no master, no foundation in cultivation, and no common sense in practice, although most of them would make mistakes in their practice and rarely follow the right path, it was also because of this that independent cultivators had more wild imaginations, so it was not too difficult to accept that they could come up with such an idea.

Just ...

"Um... Jiang Yan... Teacher Jiang, I still don't quite understand... I only understand the subjective and objective laws, and the other specific operations are still... still a little confused..."

Yin Li lowered her head a little embarrassedly, her cheeks flushed, and she felt a little awkward. After listening to such advanced and popular ideas, although there is no specific way to practice, it should be possible to generate some inspiration by combining it with one's own.

But she... really has no clue!

Jiang Yan sighed softly.

"You are really the most... ahem! Okay, you are not the worst."

As if he had thought of something, Jiang Yan's face showed seriousness: "This is just an idea. I have not taught you the specific practice, and there is no way to teach you. You can only comprehend it on your own and find your own way."

“So, don’t call me “teacher” anymore.”

Jiang Yan looked calm but was panicking inside. I was so engrossed in what I was saying just now that I almost accidentally accepted a student! Fortunately, Shen Ming didn't find out. If she came back and found out that I accepted another student! I dare not even think about the scene!

"You just said you have no clue, so I will give you another word."

Although Yin Li felt a little sorry that she couldn't recognize her master (the monk: What a filial piety!), she still suppressed her emotions and said seriously: "Okay, Mr. Jiang!"

"Your physique is unique. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the darling of heaven and earth. People with unique physiques like you often have smooth and extraordinary progress in cultivation. This is because before you were born, by chance, your innate Qi and Tao merged."

"The subjective has already had a synchronous interaction with the objective. Generally speaking, this synchronous interaction will occur when a person is born and comes into contact with the objective nature."

"Although it has been severed, you have already been tainted by the objective, so when you follow the path again, your progress will be rapid. Your situation is more complicated. It should be that after you were born, the subjective and objective frequency has not been completely severed."

"When I started practicing later, I took a path that suited me, and this kind of resonance appeared all the time."

Yin Li's face turned pale when she heard this: "Then I am now in the process of refining my spirit and returning to the void! According to what you said before, if I continue to interact with the objective world at this stage, wouldn't that be courting death!"

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die..."

Jiang Yan: ...

A flash of silver light flashed by, and Yin Li felt a pain on the head.

"Oh, everyone says that you have a special physique. The reason why ordinary people need to cut off from the objective world when they cultivate their spirit is because their subjective world is formed into a unique structure as soon as they are born, and false thoughts breed. If they don't cut off from the objective world and refine their mind, they will naturally die if they rashly combine with it."

"You were born without being completely cut off from the objective world. You still have a trace of connection. In addition, the ancient method of cultivation requires a little imprint of the will. If you practice normally according to the ancient method, it will be a natural process. With that trace of connection, you can reach the state of returning to the void after a good sleep and waking up."

Yin Li's crying expression froze, and she gently blinked her bright eyes.

"So, I'm still a genius! Hahaha!!"

Jiang Yan glanced at Yin Li and resisted the urge to break her inner illusion. After all, he was just using Yin Li to get close to Huayinfang, and the relationship was not to the point where he could point out the way forward for her and give her earnest advice.

So he knocked on the table to get her attention back.

"Let's continue with the topic. Now that you understand the macro issues, let's start with the micro issues."

"Your constitution lies in the seven emotions. The seven emotions in the world of immortal cultivation are essentially the emotional manifestation of the contradiction between the subjective and objective worlds. From the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of mortals to the Taoist emotions of immortals, every ripple of emotion is an energy exchange between the subjective and objective worlds. Just like the mutual concealment of yin and yang in the innate Bagua."

“The subjective “seven emotions and six desires” and the objective “laws of heaven” are always in a dynamic balance of both opposition and unity. Your path of cultivation requires you to constantly abandon your subjective biases and conform to objective laws in this never-ending contradictory movement, and finally approach the ultimate truth of “harmony with the Tao” in the cycle of destruction and establishment.”

"The secret here is: "The opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao." The contradiction between the subjective and the objective is the fundamental driving force of the operation of this world."

Crack! A thunderbolt exploded in the clear sky! Yin Li was so frightened that she withdrew from that mysterious feeling. When she looked up, the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

The originally clear sky was now filled with silver lightning snakes as thick as buckets, flashing fiercely.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, blowing up dust and blocking out the sunlight. The surrounding grass and trees rustled and their branches and leaves were in disarray.

The howling of the wind carried with it a murderous aura between heaven and earth, threatening to plunge the entire Yunxia City into chaos.

"gentlemen!"

Jiang Yan waved his hands with an indifferent look.

"It's nothing, just some normal astronomical phenomena."

Click!

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly struck the jujube tree not far from Yin Li!

The jujube tree suddenly carbonized and turned into ash, and the ground was also charred black. There were some arcs of electricity in the air, crackling.

Yin Li's hair stood on end: !!!

Jiang Yan remained calm: "The last sentence is up for discussion."

Suddenly, the wind stopped, the clouds ceased, the muffled thunder disappeared, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky. Then it gradually became heavier and then turned into a heavy downpour, hitting the roof tiles and forming a continuous curtain of rain under the eaves.

At this moment, Yin Li was standing under the eaves in shock, looking at the jujube tree with only broken branches left outside the rain... She felt uneasy for a long time.

Jiang Yan didn't react much. He found a rocking chair and lay down in it, holding a tea in one hand and a fan in the other, looking leisurely.

"Remember what I said today. Once you have fully understood it, work hard to hone your subjectivity. When you can distinguish between subjectivity and ego, you will be able to control your physique to a certain extent."

Yin Li seemed to have not heard anything, and looked at Jiang Yan as if she had just realized something. She hesitated but couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, what realm are you in now?"

"Lianxu, the same as you."

"Same as me?!"

"Yes, you are refining the spirit and returning to the void, and I am refining the void and merging with the Tao. Although these are two realms in the ancient practice, I am a pragmatic person. If my subjectivity is not in harmony with my Tao, I will still be a person refining the void."

"Since we are still ordinary people, why should we distinguish between high and low?"

Yin Li looked at Jiang Yan seriously, and felt that his aura was not like that of an ordinary person. It was the same yesterday. That palm strike was unreserved, but Jiang Yan easily diverted it and resolved it like a boat in the spring waves.

The painting is freehand and relaxed, without any worldly touches, and really looks like... a banished immortal!

Yin Li was slightly surprised when she thought of this, and her face showed even more respect. She was a perceptive person, which might be related to her physique or the fact that she had little contact with people. But she knew the truth, and Jiang Yan's kindness in teaching her the Dao, no matter what the plan was or what his temperament was, she could not ignore it.

But she believed more in the latter, because it was a hunch, a very firm hunch. As a result, her admiration for him grew stronger, and she even developed a sense of adoration.

"This person doesn't look like a visitor from the human world. If I try to recruit him, I'm afraid I'd be insulting him... or should I just forget it?"

Jiang Yan didn't know that maybe because he was too pretentious, Yin Li had given up the idea of ​​recruiting him into Huayin Studio! If she knew, she would be in tears.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yan didn’t know.

He lay in the recliner, squinting his eyes and enjoying the Yunxia City in the pouring rain.

The people in the city were running around in panic, their pace disrupted by the sudden rainstorm, and they were busy harvesting crops.

The peddlers and hawkers also cursed their bad luck and packed up their stalls to go home. Some farmers took a break at this time, brought stools and sat at the door, muttering "It's good to rain, it's good to rain... This way the crops will grow better."

The streets and alleys that were once bustling have now become silent due to a rainstorm, with only the sound of raindrops remaining.

Jiang Yan was like an ordinary citizen. He had a day off during the rainy season, doing nothing and lying comfortably in a recliner.

"it's beautiful……"

Yin Li didn't care about the outside world at all. It was just a rain, a very ordinary thing. How could it be as happy as realizing the Tao!

At this moment, she is immersed in a unique feeling, and she deserves the title of "genius".

Even though Jiang Yan did not pass on the workings of the Taoism, but only instilled the concepts into her, it still made her feel a surge of insights and inspiration. The knowledge she had acquired over the years now turned into the fuel for her insights, supporting her to keep moving forward.

She did not comprehend any new method, nor did she continue to practice, but the aura on her body became increasingly condensed and heavy, and the light and scattered aura of the previous day was no longer there.

Yin Li, who was standing in front of Jiang Yan, changed her expression almost every second, and Jiang Yan had no mood to comprehend the truth (drink tea and relax).

"Is this girl so talented? She achieved the first step of observing the Qi and breaking the appearance in a moment, and the next moment she started to cleanse the mysterious vision and coordinate the inside and outside?"

Jiang Yan was slightly surprised, because he knew that he had only expressed the idea but did not tell him how to achieve that point.

And this Yin Li actually learned it by himself and just rushed forward according to the general direction given by him.

Even though it looks a bit rough... well, it is rough, but it still achieves the goal, right?

"There are so many heroes in this world. We should not underestimate them..."

As Jiang Yan was sighing, a barely perceptible ripple passed by and Yin Li slowly opened her eyes.

The eyes were as bright as stars, with no sadness or joy in their background, but full of emotions. Yin Li's subjective mind sat high on the spiritual platform and became the king, watching the many delusions in her body take their turn.

And she sat there alone, motionless and unaffected.

In Jiang Yan's eyes, Yin Li's cartoon appearance was gone without the many painting styles. All the descriptions of anger, shyness, happiness, etc. that only existed in Jiang Yan's illusion disappeared.

Only the lonely little walnut was left, standing in front of Jiang Yan. The realistic scenery around him was clearly in the same room with the walnut, but there was a strong sense of separation, as if this walnut was forcibly cut out from the anime and pasted on the real world.

This is completely different from the previous Walnut style that influenced reality and was consistent with reality.

But I inexplicably had a feeling of…rebirth. It was no longer as hazy and unreal as before, but had a more solid and real feel.

"Congratulations, you have joined the world of new law."

Yin Li raised her hand and shook it. Although it was still in the style of a cartoon character, it made her feel a little bit of reality.

I also have a better understanding of my own physical condition.

She took two steps back, smoothed her long skirt, raised her hands together, bowed and saluted, and said:

"Thank you for your preaching, sir."

Jiang Yan waved his hand, and Yin Li turned her body and bowed elsewhere, but did not accept the gift.

"This is not a complete way. I passed it to you for the purpose of experimentation. If I were to be killed by this way by accident in the future, I would not acknowledge it. Therefore, I cannot accept your gift."

Yin Li smiled but was not annoyed. She stood up and jumped to Jiang Yan's side, feeling quite happy. She punched Jiang Yan's leg with her little fist, but because she had never done this before, her strength was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

"Sir, what are you talking about? If my daughter dies, it's my business. At most, I can say that I'm not good enough in my skills. How can I blame you~"

Jiang Yan opened his eyelids a little: "My legs are almost broken"

Yin Li's little hand trembled violently, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.

"Well, tell me what you want to do."

"Hey hey...um...sir, do you like it here?"

Jiang Yan understood immediately after hearing this, but his expression remained calm:

"The scenery here is very beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers. Although it is close to the border of Jinglan Territory and a bit noisy, I have nowhere else to go for the time being."

Yin Li was secretly delighted when she heard this, and ran behind Jiang Yan to massage his shoulders carefully.

"Sir, you are wrong. Yunxia City is the border of Yunzhou. Although there are some beautiful scenery, it is inferior to other places. Of course, with your level, you definitely don't care about these. If there is a better place than this, why force yourself, right?"

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows: "You said that, do you have a choice in mind? Tell me."

'Very good! The plan works!'
