Chapter 4 The World is a Dangerous Place

　　"Ling E, do you know what qi is? 　　Qi is the pulse of heaven and earth, the breath of living beings; all kinds of cultivation start with Qi, and all kinds of magical abilities are transformed into Qi, which is the beginning of the circumference of the sky. 　　What I am passing on to you today is the basic chapter of our Dao of the Immortal Sect, "One Qi and One Heavenly Secret". 　　This is to build the foundation of the law, is to look at the five continents of the land, is also a first-class foundation method, that is, in the future you want to cultivate other techniques, but also with this method to build a foundation. 　　Ling E ...... Ling E?" 　　"Apprentice in!" 　　In the shade of the willow tree by the lake, Blue Spirit E withdrew the gaze that had unconsciously flicked to the lake, and somewhat uneasily spat out the tip of her tongue. 　　Old Taoist Qi Yuan twisted his head to look at the center of the lake and laughed, "Your senior brother is comprehending the art of water evasion, don't be affected by his mind, and listen well, the teacher will explain this gong method for you." 　　"Uh-huh!" 　　Lan Ling'e collected her mind and listened carefully to the cultivation magic method spoken from her master's mouth, trying to understand the meaning of these statements. 　　However, but for a while ...... 　　"Master! Senior Brother has disappeared!" 　　Lan Ling'e's almond eyes rounded as she pointed at the lake surface and softly exclaimed. 　　Old Taoist Qi Yuan twisted his head to look and instantly smiled helplessly and sighed, "That's the Transportation Technique! 　　Walk, let's go to the house to cultivate! 　　Your senior brother has a strong interest in all kinds of Transportation Techniques, this should, already be the sixth Transportation Technique he has mastered." 　　"Master, what is the Transported Manner?" 　　Qi Yuan smiled as he stroked his beard, "Transportation is a type of spell that allows the caster to quickly travel through different environments, the Water Transportation spell is the ability to quickly travel through water, faster than a swimming fish. 　　See, your senior brother that is not in the lake appeared? The speed of this recluse method is already quite extraordinary." 　　Lan Ling'e stood on tiptoe to look, just in time to see her own senior brother's slender figure emerge from the far side of the lake, standing silently on the water's surface. 　　She whispered in admiration, "Elder brother is so powerful!" 　　"If we're talking about the Transportation Technique, in our Deity Immortal Sect, your senior brother does indeed claim the word powerful," Old Taoist Qi Yuan's face showed helplessness, "If he could spend half as much thought on the Transportation Technique as he does on the other techniques, my teacher would be able to rest a few points easier." 　　Lan Ling'e blinked gently and was already following her master into the grass hut. 　　Old Taoist Qi Yuan casually recruited two futons and brought the wooden door of the hut with him, the duster in his hand gently knocked down his little disciple's brain, "Concentrate on the lecture!" 　　"Oh," Lan Ling'e hurriedly sat cross-legged, this time was always able to quiet her mind. 　　On the surface of the lake, Li Changshou stepped on the waves, after taking two steps his figure disappeared as a stream of water, and after a few breaths appeared at the location of the center of the lake. 　　"Water Escape has become a success, it's just that the speed is so slow. 　　However, when performing the Water Escape, I can let myself melt into the water, but I can resist some magic treasure bombardment. 　　Water facilitates everything without contention, water carries a thousand boats without crumbling, it is indeed worth continuing to fumble." 　　Li Changshou stood with his hands in the air, pondering for a while, then he continued to stroll on the water, disappearing directly into the water every few steps ...... 　　After he continued to grope, soon there was no need to walk on the water, as long as he touched the lake water, he could directly perform Water Escape. 　　Li Changshou is still not satisfied, continue to ponder, seems to be completely unaware of the passage of time. 　　Until late afternoon, Old Taoist Qi Yuan called him back with a voice. 　　"Spirit E has not yet opened up the valley, always eat full stomach Dan also can not, later when you build thatched hut, also set up a stove again, since the period of time before Spirit E opened up the valley, for her to do a meal every day." 　　Li Changshou arched his hand and responded, "Disciple obeys." 　　"For the master to cultivate and go, Ling'e if you have anything to do, you can find your senior brother to speak to." 　　"Yes, Master!" 　　Lan Ling'e mimicked her senior brother's movements and answered to her master's hand in a decent manner, but her small belly coincidentally was making a gurgling sound, causing her pretty face to instantly turn red. 　　Daoist Master Qi Yuan laughed and disappeared into a wisp of green smoke;Li Changshou also smiled but turned his gaze to the lake to avoid embarrassing his little senior sister too much. 　　"Senior brother! Did Master just use the Smoke Escape?" 　　"Hm? Smoke Transportation?" Li Changshou didn't react for a moment, and then dumbfounded, "That's the Illusionary Form Technique, mainly used to save one's life when fighting against the enemy, it can also injure and trap the enemy, it's considered to be our master's specialty. 　　Do you want to learn it? To wait for your cultivation realm some fire, let the master pass you can." 　　"What about Senior Brother's Water Escape? Can Ling E practice it now?" 　　"The water recluse is going to be a bit later, you need to wait until you step into the realm of refining qi and transforming god before you can cultivate it, the five elements recluse are all like this, don't think too much about it right now, the rookie refiner who just finished his first meditation." 　　Lan Ling'e blinked, "Senior brother, what does rookie mean?" 　　"Probably, a clumsy beginner?" 　　Li Changshou narrowed his eyes with a smile and led Lan Ling'e towards the open space next to the medicine garden, "What do you want to eat? There are quite a lot of wild game on our mountain, if you don't have any taboos, I'll recommend it to you on my own." 　　Wild game? 　　"Senior brother, are we eating ...... these herbs at noon?" 　　"Of course not," Li Changshou's right palm probed forward, a stone flew from the side, turned around in his palm, and then it flew straight toward the forest with a sharp whistling sound. 　　Lan Ling'e couldn't help but let out an exclamation of admiration, while the mountain forest suddenly burst into a flurry of chickens and dogs, startling a flock of flying birds one after another. 　　Soon, a three-colored feathers of the brocade chicken broke the sky, the stone embedded in the brocade chicken chest, this spirit bird has long been dead. 　　The stone went back and forth, and was casually thrown by Li Changshou to the side of the grass, the blue Ling'e look at the eyes colorful again and again. 　　Not long ago, Li Changshou has skillfully set up a grill by the lake, and the brocade chicken faded and dirty, took out his own collection of a few cans of condiments, began to 'seduce' the little sister ...... s saliva in that. 　　"Senior brother, just now that stone is what kind of spell? Why did it fly out and come back?" 　　"It's just a simple imperial object," Li Changshou laughed, "It can only be considered some minor arts. 　　In today's cultivation world, or in the entire Five Continent, the most popular fighting routine is to sacrifice some magic treasures, add one's own cultivation to them, and use them to smash people. 　　This kind of martial art of controlling objects is the foundation of controlling the magic treasures. 　　You've just started cultivating, so you naturally don't know much about any of this, so I'll slowly tell you about it in the future." 　　"Well," Lan Ling'e sat on her knees, her small hand straightened a strand of green silk beside her ear, and said in a thin mosquito voice, "It feels like, all of Senior Brother's spells are so powerful." 　　Li Changshou shook his head slightly, educating in a serious tone, "You're wrong senior sister, this is not powerful. 　　Like Master, I am a Qi Refiner who has yet to become immortal. 　　This flood world is too ferocious, becoming immortal is only just getting out of the novice village, after becoming immortal there are still seven or eight more great realms to go through before you can barely be considered an expert, and each of these realms can jam countless so-called geniuses and wizards to death. 　　The flood plains have existed for too long since ancient times, and the top masters are countless, newcomers want to be on the top is much more difficult. 　　And, cultivation is ultimately just the foundation, even in the same realm of two people fighting, there is no powerful magic treasure party, the end is ...... 　　body, death, Dao, and disappearance!" 　　Lan Ling'e shrunk her neck, her senior brother's words were like a demonic voice entering her ears, making her unable to help her chills rise. 　　Li Changshou's voice continued to ring out: 　　"Even if you have powerful magical treasures, if you don't have powerful divine abilities, you are not immune to death. 　　Even if you have all the magic treasures and divine abilities, if your own qi is insufficient and you cause calamities, you will inevitably still be a dead body. 　　In short ......" 　　"Body, body death?" 　　Li Changshou immediately revealed a kind smile and praised, "Not bad, comprehending quite quickly." 　　"But senior brother," Lan Ling'e asked in a small voice, "Isn't the reason we cultivate is to be able to live forever, to be able to have no one to bully, and then get away with it in the world?" 　　"No, you may be mistaken, cultivation is not something lofty," Li Changshou shook his head and sighed softly, "We cultivate in order to constantly become stronger and then deal with all sorts of grueling circumstances so that we can live. 　　Longevity is just a cultivation realm, you won't die naturally when you reach this realm, but all sorts of calamities will still kill you." 　　"Then, Senior Brother," Lan Ling'e asked back somewhat nervously, "what should we do to truly live?" 　　Li Changshou slowly turned the grill in his hands and answered methodically: 　　"First, we must avoid karma and try not to get involved with strange and weird things, the best way to do this is to feel at ease and cultivate at home, don't walk around, and don't have too much contact with other people. 　　Of course, it is difficult to do this. 　　For example, you and I, because we worshiped the same master, there is an involvement between us, and there is a cause, and in the future, if either one of us gets into trouble, the other will be involved, and this is a kind of fruit. 　　Therefore, even if we try our best to avoid karma, we can never completely avoid karma. At this time, we have to learn to take stock of the situation, make reasonable judgments based on the situation, and try our best to keep ourselves from falling into danger. 　　If one has done all the efforts one can do and still falls into danger, then there is only the second way to cope." 　　"What is the second ...... rule?" 　　Lan Ling'e wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth, and the broiled chicken, which had already been roasted to a seven-minute maturity, had begun to emit an incomparably tantalizing aroma. 　　"The bottom card." 　　"Bottom card? And what is that ......" 　　"The so-called bottom card refers to your various hidden abilities," Li Changshou tore off a piece of chicken meat and handed it to Ling'e, who was already a bit impatient, and continued his education. 　　His senior sister's introductory education was the result of his long preparation and months of organizing in his mind! 　　"If you have one hundred points of strength, you can hide thirty points and only show seventy points to others. 　　This way, if someone wants to scheme against you, you can beat him by surprise ...... 　　More specific, later if you have any powerful spells, magical powers, magic treasures, hide as their own a bottom card, do not let people know, the key moment to throw out, it is a hammer hammer of the king of the bomb. 　　There is also one's own cultivation, one can also hide a part of it, it is also a bottom card." 　　Lan Ling'e resolved this piece of chicken in three strokes, her eyes glowing as she ate it, her taste buds reminiscing, causing her to lick her fingers. 　　She carefully pondered over her senior brother's teachings and asked in a small voice, "But senior brother, if the bottom cards are all used but you still can't beat the other party, what should you do?" 　　"That's the third rule," Li Changshou flexed his fingers, and the roasted mallard chicken was directly dismembered, transforming into a piece of roasted meat containing spiritual qi that floated in front of Lan Ling'e. 　　"The third rule is actually very simple, it is ...... to escape." 　　"Uh," Lan Ling'e blinked, still struggling to understand her senior brother's words even though most of her attention was attracted by the roasted meat. 　　Li Changshou leisurely said, "As the saying goes, if you stay green, you won't have to worry about firewood. 　　Being intentional will only bury a bright future, and life is only precious once, of course, those with excellent character and temperament may get lucky for a second time. 　　Ahem, to business! 　　Want to disappear in the hands of experts, need to be extremely strong clinical reaction ability, here we have to emphasize the role of the recluse method, learn one more recluse method, you have one more hope of survival ......" 　　The sun dipped to the west, and the smell of meat was everywhere. 　　At the edge of that clear lake, the young Qi Refiner tirelessly educated the young junior sister who had just started; the young girl who was holding a piece of roasted meat and nibbling on it in small bites was also gradually listening to it. 　　This would definitely be a lesson that would affect her entire immortal life. 　　Only, although the little Ling'e constantly lamented that her senior brother's words were so reasonable, but after careful recollection, she felt that somewhere ...... 　　was a little bit not quite right.
