Chapter 115 The Five Elements are a Good Thing
Today, Lin Chan cooked black rice porridge for Lu Xun.
The little mute's talent in cooking is generally average, and cannot be compared with Lu Xun, but his skill in making porridge is indeed good. Whether it is sweet or salty porridge, the taste and heat are well controlled.
Lu Xun sat opposite her, and the two of them kept slurping porridge. He didn't say a word, just simply enjoying the service of his beloved disciple.
While drinking porridge, he looked at Lin Chan carefully. Later, the little mute felt embarrassed by his gaze and lowered his head so low that he almost buried it in the bowl.
"You look much better." Lu Xun said with a smile.
It was obvious that with the improvement of her cultivation and the help of her master last night, the strange disease that had plagued Lin Chan since she was a child was gradually weakening. She now slept soundly every night, and her body felt much more comfortable, and even her appetite became a little better than before.
Although she was still thin and small, her complexion improved and she looked less sickly. She finally had some youthful vitality.
"She is getting prettier." Lu Xun came to the conclusion in his mind.
It feels like the ugly duckling is gradually turning into a white swan, and the forest cicada is also constantly transforming.
Somehow, Lu Xun felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
Perhaps, this is the charm of cultivation!
…
…
After finishing the porridge, Lin Chan put the bowl, chopsticks and other items back into his small bamboo basket.
A young girl is walking in the woods carrying a small bamboo basket. The picture is actually very cute when you imagine it.
After his apprentice left, Lu Xun sat cross-legged and began to plan his own path to upgrade.
He is currently unable to leave the cave, and there are only two ways to get out. Either he asks his master to change his mind, or he thinks of a way to gain some experience points without leaving the cave.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is obviously difficult and makes him feel worried.
At noon, the third senior brother Zhuge Lai Fu came into the cave with a bunch of food.
Seeing his excited look, Lu Xun doubted that what he said last night about "going back to organize the sword formation" was a lie. Are you sure you are not organizing the recipe?
It is obvious that the third brother is more enthusiastic about discussing cooking than teaching the formation.
Lu Xun did not disturb the Third Senior Brother's interest, and spoke to him without reservation. With his superb language skills, every word he said hit the Third Senior Brother's heart, and many words tickled his sore spot.
As for whether Third Senior Brother’s cooking skills would improve as a result… Lu Xun felt that it was unlikely.
The food he cooked was unpalatable because of his own ability, and you can’t teach him back.
Zhuge Laifu was obviously determined to go down the path of creative cuisine and never turn back, and Lu Xun couldn't stop him.
But today, when cooking, Lu Xun took it very seriously and did it very carefully.
He hoped that every time the gentleman took a bite of the food he cooked, he would remember his kindness and stop his seclusion.
Such an outstanding disciple should serve his master!
Look at it now, in the back mountain, there are two areas for eating. Lu Xun and Lin Chan eat in the cave, while the others eat in the bamboo forest .
How unwarm!
And in the bamboo forest, at the beginning it was just as he thought. When he was not around, the gentleman ate the food he cooked, and he really felt pity and love for him in his heart.
This apprentice is really good. At least the dishes he cooks are really delicious.
So, the master warned Zhuge Laifu, "Old Third, you must give Xiaowu good guidance in his sword formation training. Do you understand?"
The third brother nodded, his dark face full of seriousness.
After finishing speaking, the gentleman added: "The formation at the entrance of the cave has been arranged, right? He...can't get out?"
"Well, I have already made arrangements. He is the only one who cannot enter or exit the cave freely. With junior brother's strength, he will not be able to break through the barrier unless he makes a breakthrough." The third senior brother answered truthfully.
"Very good." The gentleman nodded, showing his satisfaction.
Isn't it nice to be getting along like this now?
Distance creates beauty.
The gentleman picked up another piece of pork ribs made by Lu Xun and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
In the afternoon, the third senior brother came to the cave and taught Lu Xun how to practice sword formation.
Lu Xun was a little disappointed, because the master didn't seem to want to let him go. He just asked the third brother to tell him to practice well , be modest, and not be impatient. It's okay to take it slow.
After hearing this earnest instruction, Lu Xun thought to himself: “（╯‵□′）╯︵┻━┻”
Sir, ruthless!
"Calm your mind, calm your mind, calm your mind..." After silently reciting "The Art of Calming the Mind" dozens of times in his mind, Lu Xun began to learn about sword formations.
The third brother sat next to Lu Xun, his hands in his sleeve pockets like an old farmer, and said to him:
"Junior brother, the eldest brother and the second sister practiced swords, Xiaonanbei practiced knives, and I practiced talismans."
"Talisman formations are what I am better at. Sword formations and talisman formations have similar effects, especially when you, little junior brother, use sword energy to set up formations, which is actually equivalent to qi talismans."
Then he said to Lu Xun: "Come, show me your sword energy."
"Okay." Lu Xun nodded, spread out his palm, and a sword energy appeared in his palm.
He did not hold back, and the sword energy he unleashed was 100% of his current strength.
"Come, give it to me and let me study it." The third senior brother, who loved to study new things, brightened up his eyes and stretched out his rough and dark big hand.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun passed the sword energy over. Miraculously, the third senior brother actually held the sword energy and controlled it easily!
"How did Third Brother do it?" Lu Xun felt puzzled and surprised.
After Zhuge Lai Fu "played" with the tiny sword energy in his hand for a while, he gently squeezed it with his big hand and... crushed Lu Xun's sword energy!
Then he stroked his fingers, as if he was savoring the feeling just now...
The corner of Lu Xun's mouth twitched slightly: "Are you sure you are practicing the Talisman Array, not the Iron Sand Palm?"
Third Brother has thick skin and tough flesh, but I didn’t expect that he is really thick!
“Junior brother, your sword energy now does not have any attributes, but I think once you have mastered the skills the teacher gave you, you will be able to use the five elements sword energy at will.” The third brother said to Lu Xun.
This was also what excited Lu Xun. By cultivating all five elements, in addition to having more powerful spiritual power, the five elements could also be switched freely.
Although the process of practice is difficult, the results are definitely gratifying.
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and coupled with your five elements sword energy... Junior brother, you are indeed very suitable for practicing sword formations!" The third senior brother added.
Indeed, when Lu Xun cultivates the nameless technique to the first level, he will be able to transform the five elements freely. By then, relying on the principle of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, he will be able to do so many things!
You are practicing fire-based martial arts, and water controls fire, so I will stab you with water-based sword energy!
You are practicing the Wood Element Kung Fu, and Metal overcomes Wood, so I will stab you with the Metal Element sword energy!
Anyway, it feels great to poke one, and I guarantee you ’ll hit the bull’s eye!
The so-called formations often take into account the principle of "mutual promotion and mutual restraint". He chose to learn sword formations, and he really made the right choice.
After thinking for a moment, the third brother said, "Then why don't we start by learning the Five Elements Formation!"
Hearing this, Lu Xun felt that the day of his release was even further away.
The Five Elements Formation, although seemingly a single formation, is actually a series consisting of five small formations.
The five small formations can be used individually, but can also be combined into the entire Five Elements formation.
Normally, everyone only needs to learn a small formation, and the Five Elements formation requires the joint efforts of five people to be created.
And Lu Xun can complete it independently!
It sounds awesome, but it also means... it takes a lot of experience to learn it!
What Lu Xun lacks most now is experience points!
"Waiting online for a way to get rich without leaving home, very urgent!"
