It was winter, and it was getting colder by the day.
The frosty air approached from afar, and the northern wind blew. The snow on the mountain peak lay dormant under the sky.
Ordinary people were struggling for their lives, while extraordinary people were fighting for their ideals.
He had once personally seen the stone inscriptions at the foot of the snow mountain. When Xiao Lin thought of it again, he was immediately puzzled.
Because he had been struggling for life and for his ideals.
Could it be that this sentence was wrong?
He didn't have time to think about whether it was right or wrong. He only knew that he was still struggling for life, but he had a new ideal.
Because of this ideal, he had asked Di Sheng: "How long would it take to reach your level?”
Di Sheng didn't answer, he just smiled.
"What about half?" he asked.
Di Sheng still did not answer. He only said four simple words. Haste makes waste!
These five words seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult to do.
The next day.
He had brought a sword, a prop sword that he had bought for fifteen copper coins.
"Actually, you didn't have to bring it!"
"Alright, I'll try to bring a real sword next time!”
"Even so, there's still no need to bring it!”
"Is that so? Then what do I need to bring?"
"A healthy body!"
"Mine?"
"Of course!"
What he needed to do now was not to train his sword, but to train his foundation.
Cultivating one's foundation was the beginning of one's cultivation path. Any superb ability had to start from the most basic cultivation!”
Of course, Xiao Lin understood. He was just influenced by the storyteller and made a wrong judgment on his own.
Di Sheng suddenly wanted to hear this story, so he asked with interest: "How? Why don't you tell me?"
Little Lin said,"" I've gone to the market to listen to storytellers a few times. They're probably adapted from chivalrous novels. The male protagonists in those novels usually don't have much ability when they first enter Jianghu. Some of them are even weak scholars. When they accidentally fall into a cave, they usually meet a white-haired old man with unfathomable swordsmanship. The old man can often predict that he will definitely be successful in the future, so he will give him a sword manual or a few words of mnemonic chant. He will practice the moves and mnemonic chant for a few days. After coming out of the cave, he would duel or spar with a certain master, and immediately amaze the world. Then, he would defeat many martial arts giants in succession and become a recognized first-class master in the martial arts world. Then, young and beautiful women would meet him one after another, and they would even marry him. One of them would be the female lead. After experiencing many grudges together, they would often ignore all the disputes in the martial arts world and live in seclusion. They would grow old together. If the female lead met with misfortune, the male lead would usually vow not to marry again or become a monk. If the male lead unfortunately dies, the female lead will usually draw her sword and commit suicide. When she doesn't have a sword on her, she will often pick up the male lead's body and throw herself into the sea or jump off a cliff to commit suicide…"
"What you said is indeed a little funny!" Di Sheng said with a smile," But it's just a smile. Let's continue talking about Foundation Training!”
Little Lin didn't know if the real Sword World was very different from this place.
In fact, the two were not completely different. It was just that the latter was more idealistic!
Take sword training for example. It was unrealistic to master a certain kind of super divine sword technique just by relying on moves and chants. The so-called moves were just the manifestation of inner energy. People with different levels of inner energy could use the same move, but the effect of the attack would definitely be different!
As for the profound inner force, of course, he would start from the most basic practice and gradually increase the difficulty of the practice. The longer he practiced, the deeper his inner force would be! At the same time, it also involved many factors such as training methods, effort, talent, and so on. These factors also directly determined the difference in the results achieved by different people in the same time!
"Alright, you can start doing some initial exercises now!”
"Practice what?"
"Climb the tree!"
"Climbing trees?"
"Yes, climbing trees!"
Xiao Lin thought that he had misheard, but when Di Sheng repeated it again and emphasized his tone, he confirmed that he had not misheard at all.
There were only two words. How could he have misheard?
But in reality, he could not believe that the ability to fly and burrow into the ground, to split mountains and split rocks, was actually obtained by climbing an extremely ordinary tree.
"No way, isn't that easier than me forging with a hammer?”Kobayashi approached a tree with a trunk that could be hugged and tried to climb up with both hands.
Xiao Lin, who was born and raised in the forest, knew how to climb trees. Not only did he know how to climb, but he was also very good at it.
If there was a 100-person tree-climbing competition, the champion would probably be in his pocket. Unfortunately, he had never encountered such a competition.
He quickly climbed up the treetops, looked down confidently, and then quickly descended.
He climbed up and down quickly. He was undoubtedly an expert at climbing trees.
However, Di Sheng said no to him.
Why?
This was because the standards were different. One was the standard of the mortal world, while the other was the standard of the Sword World.
By the standards of the mortal world, you are an outstanding person, but by the standards of the sword world, you are nothing.
"I believe that you should have been an expert in this aspect in the mortal world!”Taking a sip of the wine he had brought with him, Di Sheng continued," But they often have such a problem, that is, when climbing, their torso always can't be separated from the tree!”
" The torso leaves the tree?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened." Maybe I can make that pose, but it's almost impossible to climb up!”
" So this is the standard of the Sword World," Di Sheng said." Moreover, this is only the lowest standard!”
Xiao Lin hurriedly climbed up the tree to try again, because he was worried that Di Sheng would angrily say," If you think you can't do it, it's completely fine to give up now."
He believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he would not let it go so easily.
Unfortunately, he tried several times and failed.
Without waiting for him to continue, Di Sheng suddenly shouts: "Come down!"
"I thought about it just now. It's not impossible to succeed!”Xiao Lin said," Because this is how humans climbed when they were born.”
"That's right, you've comprehended it very quickly! Humans had evolved to this point, and their civilization was already highly prosperous. However, due to the changes in their bodies, it was difficult for them to have the climbing skills of ancient humans. And these practices, in a sense, could be said to be returning to the basics! As this is your first time practicing, you can temporarily use your four limbs to exert strength. After you succeed, you can try to release one arm, and then your two arms..."
"May I ask what the purpose of this segment is?" Xiao Lin asked.”
Di Sheng said," Right now, I'm just practicing. I can't even talk about cultivation. The goal is to train the body's flexibility, flexibility, leg strength, and many other aspects. Of course, this also includes mental willpower and flying skills!”
"Flight?" Little Lin asked.
"You don't believe me?" Di Sheng asked.
"Of course I believe you. Besides, I have the most feelings for the flying technique among the points you mentioned!" Because in my impression, people with this technology can often walk on trees. Even if it's a cloud tree in the sky, they can jump to the top!”
"Could it be that you heard this from a storyteller?"”
"That's right, but after listening to your explanation, I think it's feasible!" More importantly, when would he be able to have that kind of ability?”
"You'll know about this in the future!" Di Sheng said. This is the first stage. You should first complete the goal of this stage, which is to try your best to leave the tree trunk and successfully climb up the tree. But remember, don't stick your belly on the tree when you feel tired. This will make you rely on the tree trunk, which will seriously hinder your future cultivation!”
Xiao Lin repeatedly said,"Yes."
He was on the tree, but he clearly saw another person on the tree.
The man did three tree climbing movements in one breath. He used two palms, two feet, and even one foot.
There wasn't a single movement that didn't leave people dumbstruck. His body stopped in the middle of the tree trunk in a daze.
That person was not Di Sheng, but Sui Tang.
Of course, the Sui and Tang Dynasties could do these movements, and it looked like they were obviously doing it with restraint.
Indeed, a swordmaster who could only perform on a tree was definitely not an immortal sword master.
Sui Tang smiled and asked,"So you really accepted this kid as your disciple?" It wasn't a mission that the Sword Saint arranged for you, right?”
"What do you think?" Di Sheng asked.
Sui Tang said," Regarding this matter, the Sword Saint once said that everything should be left to fate. Naturally, he would not arrange anything for others!”
"Then why do you still have such doubts?"”
"Because I don't think you'll do it!" Sui Tang said.”
"That means your feeling is right!”
Sui Tang walked to a corner and sat down. He took out a strange letter from a decaying tree stump.
A flying sword message.
Di Sheng could tell who the sender was at a glance, but he was not sure where he was going or what he was doing.
Giant Snake Island? A woman?
Could it be that he was going to find trouble with the snake demon again?
